3. TIMING: Just a reminder that while we will be recording times for the 5K and 2K, this is a fun, non-competitive event! Times will be shared a few days after the event via email and RunSignUp for anyone who would like to see their finishing time or track a personal record (PR).

4. HALLOWEEN CANDY STATIONS: Well have candy at tables along the course to celebrate our Halloween theme! If you take any candy, please help us keep the park clean by holding onto wrappers until you can dispose of them in a trash can.
