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!
