FREDERICK COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION IS PARTNERING WITH RUNNERS' RETREAT [https://runnersretreat.com/] TO BRING A FUN TWIST TO ONE OF THEIR THURSDAY EVENING GROUP RUNS! THE HALLOWEEN SCAVENGER HUNT FUN RUN IS A GREAT WAY TO CELEBRATE THE SPOOKY SEASON WHILE GETTING SOME EXERCISE.

AFTER, WE WILL HAVE A SOCIAL GET TOGETHER AT THE CIDER HOUSE (DRINKS AND FOOD ON YOUR OWN) AND ANNOUNCE THE WINNING TEAM WHO WILL RECEIVE A PRIZE!
