About the Greenwood Scholarship 5K and Fun Run
This is a Halloween-themed race that benefits a local school supporting students with learning differences. Costumes are a real part of the morning, not an afterthought, and there are prizes for the best individual, group, and dog costume. The course details are not elaborate; the draw is the cause and the atmosphere around it.
After the finish, the event continues with a trunk-or-treat setup, which makes it a natural stop for families with kids. The race raises money for a scholarship fund that keeps the school accessible to families regardless of financial means.
