About the Scarecrow 2.0
The course starts at Exeter City Park and winds through downtown, passing the scarecrows that line the streets as part of the city's fall display. It reads as a neighborhood run through a small town rather than a loop through open land, which keeps things interesting even at an easy pace.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before at a local running store, with race-morning pickup available at the park. After the finish, there are Svenhard's danish pastries at the finish area, a nod to the local bakery that calls Exeter home.

The Scarecrow 2.0 has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 18, 2026.
