Scarecrow 2.0 2026

Scarecrow 2.0 is a fall family race in Exeter, California, starting from Exeter City Park at 333 S D Street. The lineup gives adults and kids a few easy choices: a 10K run/walk, a 2 Mile Run/Walk, and Kids Dash races split for ages 1-5 and 6-10. It is set up as a small-town community morning rather than a runners-only event, with chip timing, finisher medals, certificates, race photos, shirts, free drinks, and age-group awards. The course winds through downtown Exeter and runs alongside the town's scarecrow displays, which gives the race its local hook. Finishers get a Svenhard's danish, a nice detail because Svenhard's is based in Exeter. The park also has a costume contest plus a live DJ and music, so families can hang around after the run. A portion of funds and donations goes to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sequoias, which serves more than 3,200 young people in Tulare County each year.
