Halloween Havoc at the Dunn Cemetery Join us for some Friday the 13th twilight/darkness trail running adventures on the majestic Pioneer Trail in Jennings State Forest for a unique one of a kind trail race where we will be running right by Dunn Cemetery under the moon lite sky and glow sticks lining the trail! This is a 3.75 mile out and back course on a relatively flat course where at the 2 mile mark you will traverse through the historic Dunn Cemetery. We will have some exciting and exhilarating " features" along the route and will have a Halloween/Friday the 13th theme for all you superstitious and spooky type individuals! Headlamps will be required for all runners/walkers and there will be a 1.5 hr cutoff to be finished to be off the trail by 8:30pm. We will have 1 "scare" station at the cemetery which will be "accessorized" by our lovely friend Michelle AKA Minnie and will have you all ready for the return "climb" back up the service road to the final stretch of flat trail to the finish. This is a cupless race so you will need to carry your own handheld water bottle or hydration pack. This race is presented by Sombrero Running Events and Race Director Mike Martinez whom has only 2 well known " rules" which are: Rule 62 = Don't take yourself too damn seriously as well as his #wontgetlost policy especially in the dark :) AWARDS: We will have awards for top 3 overall Female and Male, overall Masters ( 40 and above) and Grandmasters ( 50 and above ) as well as the HIGHLY COVETED Slow A$$ award for DFL for Female and Male.

This is a CUPLESS race so you will need to bring your own handheld bottle or other form of hydration container.
