From the organizers
Get ready to come out in your best costume and join us this Halloween (a.k.a. Reformation Day!) for a 5K Fun Run in support of Austin and Cayla Albrecht's summer 2027 mission trip to Southeast Asia!
This is a free event with donation opportunity. The recommend registration for the event is $30, but feel free to donate what you can afford or feel led to give. This is a very CASUAL meetup for the purpose of raising funds; if you are looking for a legit 5K race, this is not it!
