Want to run with ghosts and goblins?
The second annual 5K Frightfully Fun Run (or walk if you dare) is Saturday, Oct. 29, night. The race begins at 12:01 a.m. on Sunday.
Proceeds from the Frightfully Fun Run benefit the Iola High After-Prom event, sponsored by the junior class parents.
Entry fee is $15 and prepaid entries receive a T-shirt prior to the race. Night of the race entries may pick up shirts at later date.
The race is a certified (code KS10017BG) route. It will follow the same route as Iola’s Charley Melvin Mad Bomber Run.
Registration forms are available at Duane’s Flowers in Iola or go online to [email protected].
“Last year’s junior parents started the fun run and we’d like to see it continue as a fund raiser for the Iola After-Prom,” said Stephanie McDonald, 2012 IHS After-Prom Committee chairman.
“We also wanted to encourage more community involvement so we’ve added several fun activities before the race.”
Starting at 10 p.m. will be a costume contest, wheel barrow races and a cake walk. All these activities are free.
The Iola Molly Trolley Haunted Tours run that night from 8-9:30 p.m.
ACARF will provide concessions with proceeds going to ACARF.
The registration table for the 5K race will be on West Street across from the post office for late entries. That will be from 10 to 11:30 p.m.
A registration table for the games will be on the west courthouse lawn from 10 to 10:15 p.m. Games get under way at 10:30 p.m.
The wheel barrow races will have age categories, best decorated wheel barrow, three-person teams and best team theme.
“Come down to the Iola square and join the fun. There will be ghosts along the race route, so beware,” McDonald said.
