Courses de 5K près de Radcliff

Cette course sur route annuelle, le Spooky Sprint, se court sur Broad Run Pkwy. C'est un parcours simple sur bitume, où l'ambiance est plus aux déguisements d'automne qu'à une course de club où on se prend la tête. C'est un "fun, Halloween-themed event," le genre où tu peux te retrouver sur la ligne de départ à côté de quelqu'un qui vise un chrono et de quelqu'un d'autre déguisé pour l'occasion. Ce qui est chouette, c'est le mélange des participants : familles, enfants, débutants et coureurs habitués, tous plongés dans la même ambiance Halloween, avec plusieurs distances proposées tout au long de la matinée. Attends-toi à de la course sur route, une arrivée pleine de déguisements et de sourires moites, et ce petit côté décalé d'octobre où le matos de course et le déguisement font bon ménage.
