Burn some ghoulish calories and break in your Halloween costume Sunday, October 28 at the 8th Annual Great Pumpkin Fun Run & 5K Race at Lakewood Park.
Costumes are strongly encouraged for this popular community event. It kicks off at 8:45 a.m. with a 1-mile Fun Run perfect for little ghosts and goblins who want to show off their running skills and be congratulated with a “scary” amount of applause when they cross the finish line!
The 5 K (3.1-mile) run/walk takes off at 9:15 a.m. and sends participants on a flat course along the city’s beautiful tree-lined streets.
The best part? You’ll be breaking a sweat to further worthy causes. Proceeds from the race benefit two local non-profits: Lakewood Community Services Center and H2O – Help to Others.
Entry fees for the 5K run or walk are $20 for adults 19 years and older and $15 for youth 18 years and younger. The one-mile fun run is $12. The first 400 registered participants receive a t-shirt. Awards will be given. Registration opens at 7:45 a.m. at the Women’s Pavilion at Lakewood Park. For more information, call 216.623.9933 or visit www.hermescleveland.com.
