About the Scare-A-Thon Marathon and 10K
The course runs entirely inside the secure perimeter of a correctional facility, on a short loop repeated until you finish. You run alongside residents enrolled in a rehabilitation running program, which is the whole point of the event. It is unlike any race setting most runners will ever experience.
The facility has strict rules about what you can bring and what you can wear. No phones, no headphones, no form-fitting clothing. Sleeves required, shorts to mid-thigh. You lock your car keys at the entry point, carry a photo ID, and clear a security checkpoint before the race begins. Early arrival is required to get through security in time.
