Show off your favorite costume as you make your way through the beautiful fall colors on the campus of the College of Southern Idaho. You’ll enjoy the Halloween themed aid stations along the course too!

Make it a family and friends’ event with a finish line party full of food, prizes, games, and face painting.

The Kids 2K (1.25 miles – two loops of the 1K course) and Kids 1K (just over a half of a mile in distance) will get kids running, climbing over obstacles, snagging candy at checkpoints, and smiling as they make their way through this fun course!
