Calling all ghouls, goblins, ghosts, and humans….. Stretch those hammies and get those racing shoes ready. Our Haunted GloRun and Trunk or Treat event is scheduled for October 30th. It’s going to be a BOOtiful night for the entire family.
Dad Problems….
It only took Pete and I one Halloween with little ones to realize two things: 1) It’s a pain in the butt loading a kid up, stopping the car, unloading the kid, trick or treating, and repeating the process twenty times. 2) Moms love Halloween pictures. Worse yet, moms love it even more if the entire family dresses up and takes “cute” pictures on Halloween no matter how ridiculous the dad looks in a spandex superhero costume.
So we think we have a solution…..
Not only will we have a 1.5 and 3 mile race for monsters of all ages and fitness levels (Trust us, although this race will be timed and include prizes, it is a FUN race. Emphasis on fun), but we also will have a Trunk or Treat event in the Ageless parking lot after the race from 7-8:30pm. We’re expecting over 30 trunks so the kids will have more than enough sugar to keep them up for days. We’re also going to have a FREE Halloween photo opportunity for families and kids. The ladies of Ageless will have a cute Halloween backdrop in the gym, and Austin will be there taking pictures. Not only will we e-mail you the picture file, but we’ll also have a commemorative picture printed for you. To all of the dads out there, you’re welcome!
Side note: You do NOT have to participate in the race to attend the Trunk or Treat event. It’s free for the entire community. We encourage all little ghouls and goblins to stop by for some candy. If you would like to have a trunk in the Trunk or Treat event, we’d love to have you. Just let us know how many spaces you’ll need.
