Looking for something different to celebrate Halloween?  This is a fun twist on our usual Pratt Park & St Clair Brooks races.  Depending on whether you choose to be a Devil or an Angel, you will start at either Pratt Park (Devils) or St Clair Brooks (Angels).  Devils will pick up registration packets & start/end race @ Pratt Park.  Angels will pick up registration packets & start/end race @ St Clair Brooks park.  Both races will start at the same time, however they will be running opposite ways on the same(ish) course.

Whichever side has more of the Top 101 Finishers will receive a discount code for a future race!

Walkers and strollers are welcome to attend this event.

 

Virtual Race Option

We now offer a virtual run option for those who cannot make it on race day.  Find more information about our virtual option on our Virtual Races page.

Weather Policy

We are an all-weather race company (rain or shine or sleet or snow). We will email registered runners and post on social media if the race is cancelled, but this is quite rare, otherwise assume the race is taking place as scheduled.

Weekly weather reports are posted on the Thursday before race weekends on our Facebook page by Chad Merrill with the Hagerstown Almanack.  Race officials may delay, change or postpone the event due to weather conditions.  All registered runners will be notified via email of any changes.  In most cases, a decision is not made until the night before the race, and a decision could come as late as the morning of the event.
