Quick! They're Gaining on You!

Run this 5K as if you were the kid being chased by a monster in a horror movie, because the first-place prize at the Scream Scram is a round-trip ticket on Southwest Airlines, and plenty of other little terrors will be after you. “Every Saturday morning in Denver you can find a race of some kind, but this one’s a lot of fun because you get to come out in costume, it’s at night, and it’s cool to have all these ghouls and goblins running around,” says Erin Kieft, spokeswoman for Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver, which celebrates its fiftieth anniversary next year and will use proceeds of the run to help serve 100,000 kids around town. “We’ll have opportunities for people to walk the orange carpet in full costume and compete for great prizes, a trick-or-treat street with goodies, and Noodles & Company on site giving out hot bowls to charge your little monsters up before bed.”
