About the Pleasanton Rotary Halloween Spirit Run
The race starts and finishes on Main Street in downtown Pleasanton, so the surroundings are storefronts and sidewalks rather than a park trail. Costumes are encouraged, which gives the start line a different energy than most fall road races. Dogs on fixed leashes and strollers are both welcome, as long as they line up toward the back.
Packet pickup happens the morning before at a running store on Main Street, with race-morning pickup available near the start as a backup. You can pick up for others in your group, and a QR code from your confirmation email is the easiest way to check in. In-person registration is also possible on race morning at the start area.
