The Ghoul Gathering: a DIY Halloween Race

No Halloween race in your town?   Why not get some friends together and hold your own?    In years past, a local gym hosted a Halloween 5K in Tallahassee. But the gym closed down, and that was the end of the race.   So this week, our friend Michelle, pictured below, planned a 'Ghoul Gathering - Zombie Run' and invited several friends.  

Love this outfit!

  The group was made up of fourteen ghouls, zombies, and assorted scary monsters.  DG and I opted for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costumes (recycled from when we ran the runDisney Enchanted 10K). We did a Halloween themed 4 mile run/walk  at 'Zombie' pace.

  Magnus joined us - in his shark costume. 


a better pic of his shark fin - but he would not keep the hood/jaws part on.

  Guess who won Best Costume & Runner Up?   And there were cute little finisher medals (Halloween themed AND reflective)! 
  Yep - Magnus got a finisher medal too.   After the run, we took over the patio at a nearby restaurant, and the Halloween party began.   Michelle brought buckets of candy, decorations, And goody bags for all. This is DG's goody bag   and mine...   DG and I also got prizes for winning Best Costume. 
 It was a great way to celebrate Halloween!  Have you ever planned a themed run with friends? Happy Halloween!
