The Haunted Halloween 5K & 10K Run / Walk takes place in a wonderful, fully enclosed venue. 2 laps on the bike path around the lake equals a 5K, and 4 laps equals a 10K. The Start/Finish timing mat will provide a chip start time and record your total time. If you happen to lose count of your laps (hopefully, you can count to 2 or 4), your laps are also recorded. If you feel motivated, you can register for the 5K and 10K Combined event. Run the 5K first and then get in line to run the 10K. This is for running only and not walking.
This is a fundraising event, and all proceeds will support the Spring Lake High School boys' volleyball program. While boys' volleyball has been going on for quite some time, it hasn't been sanctioned by the MHSAA until now. Spring Lake boys' volleyball has seen and enjoyed increased participation along with individual and team development. The boys' volleyball program is not school-funded, and as such, this is a Pay-To-Play school sports program. The individual, team, travel, supplies, and MANY other expenses are VERY significant for the season and off-season.
This is a Halloween-themed event, and costumes are VERY welcome and encouraged. There will be an award for the best costume. Come in your costume, racing clothes, or casual clothes, and enjoy the Halloween environment. Overall awards for male and female will go 3 deep. Age group awards for male and female will go 3 deep in 5-year age increments up to our oldest participant. Registered participants will receive a long-sleeved "Dri-Fit" tech shirt.
While we all love our fur babies, please keep your furry loved ones at home, as they are not allowed on the course. Running strollers are allowed, but we ask that you start at the back of the field. There will be 1 aid station located just beyond the Start/Finish line, providing water and Gatorade. This will allow you to replenish liquids multiple times. Post-race snacks for participants and volunteers will be provided.
