About the 7th Annual Jack O'Lantern Jog
The race starts and finishes in a hospital parking lot on the east side of town, then winds through Saint Paul on a marked course. The route is mostly through town streets, with a water stop partway through. Individual times are not tracked, but the event is timed and prizes go to the top male and female finishers.
There is also a costumed walk on the same course after the race wraps up, with trick-or-treat stations along the way, making it a Halloween-themed morning overall. Costumes are welcome for the race too, and a separate costume contest runs alongside it with individual and group categories.
