Lora Ledermann, the agency’s founder, says the costume portion of the event is more competitive than the race itself — and makes it more fun. And because this race is thrown by an ad agency, it’s known for creating much cooler T-shirts than the standard race fare. This year, a local illustrator drew a batdog for the shirts, which Ledermann hopes will also inspire racers to bring out their dogs in costume. There’s a 100-meter Spooky Sneak for kids, too — and this year, mod-ern-day explorer Eric Larsen will race alongside them with tires tied to his back to replicate pulling a canoe on his recent One World Expedition.
The race is at 6 p.m. Registration begins at 4:30 on the diagonal road in Washington Park. It costs $29 for adults and $19 for kids ten and under or seniors sixty and older. (Advance registration is $25, or $15 for kids and seniors.) Everybody gets a T-shirt, food, Halloween candy and a chance to win prizes. Call 303-694-2030 or visit www.active.com.
