Halloween is here and what a fun time of year! It marks the beginning of the holiday season and a time to let go and have fun dressing up and getting spooky! What’s better than dressing up for Halloween? Well, dressing up plus running of course! Halloween runs are a fun way to burn off those bite-sized candy bars or just a time to get into the holiday season! Just grab your running shoes, find the perfect run friendly Halloween costume, and get ready for a Halloween adventure! Who know’s this might be your first PR as SUPERMAN or SUPERWOMAN!
