Halloween 5k Herons Reach

Participants take on a multi-terrain night run along a dark course marked with glow-in-the-dark arrows. Along the way, runners navigate uneven surfaces, water, and mud while watching out for marshals who may offer spooky tricks and surprises rather than race assistance. Crossing the finish line earns participants a commemorative medal.
