Northview Education Foundation

Spooky Sprint 5K & 1K Walk/Run

Saturday, October 12, 2024

@8:30 a.m. Belmont, MI

DESCRIPTION

What better month for running is there than October with its cooler temperatures and scenic fall colors? Come celebrate Halloween with a fun walk or run! Some of us may be a little too old to ask for candy on Halloween, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. Zombies, ghouls, and goblins will be haunting the cart paths of Boulder Creek Golf Club in Belmont for this family-friendly event. Have a costume that you just have to show off? Go running in it!
