About the Run For Your Life! Free Halloween Group Run!
This is a Halloween group run through Middletown neighborhoods, organized around the area's best holiday displays. The route winds past decorated houses, with chalk arrows on the ground to keep you on track. There is also a scavenger hunt option for those who want a bigger challenge, requiring visits to a handful of standout displays spread across different parts of the city.
Everything starts and ends at Sunset Park. The atmosphere is casual, the pace is your own, and costumes would not be out of place. Post-run, there is a prize for anyone who finishes the scavenger hunt, and a trophy goes to the fastest time on that challenge.
