The Scare for CARE Halloween 5K

More information at http://epicraces.com/event/scare-for-care/

Halloween is lurking right around the corner, and have we got a treat (or trick) in store for you! Join Epic Races and Pi Sigma Epsilon — University of Michigan on Sunday, October 30 for an utterly spooktacular evening in downtown Ann Arbor: the Scare for CARE 5K! Run or walk 3.1 miles through Tree Town USA as twilight emerges and, with it, all the things that go bump in the night. You’ll have a fearsomely fantastic time, all while supporting an excellent cause: CARE of Southeastern Michigan!
A Thrilling 3.1 Miles
The Scare for CARE 5K starts just before sunset, that spine-tingling interval between daylight and dark. Dress up as one of the ethereal spirits known to roam the earth at this hour or wear your favorite costume. Then run, walk, or creepily crawl our dusk-lit 3.1 miles, but beware: you never know what frightful sights conceal themselves along the course, just waiting to provide even more hair-raising fun to your race!

 
Mummy’s the Word
For those guys and ghouls who prefer a less eerie distance, we offer up the Mummy Mile. Ideal for those seeking a spirited sprint, the Mummy Mile is also perfect for walkers, for families and fiends, and especially for younger participants, who can trick-or-treat along the way at our Candy Aid Stations, manned our friendly, non-frightening cast of characters.

 
They Did the Dash. They Did the Monster Mash Dash!
Our littlest wizards and witches can enjoy a fun run all their own: the Monster Mash Dash! Open to competitors ages 8 and under, the Monster Mash Dash features a kid-friendly 100-meter sprint leading to the very same finish line that Mummy and Daddy will cross.

All events in the Scare for CARE Halloween 5K have been endorsed by the Michigan Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, Health, and Sports and are part of the Pure Michigan FITness Series.

CARE-ing for the Southeastern Michigan Community
CARE of Southeastern Michigan has served as the area’s lead referral source for substance-abuse treatment since 1977. CARE provides the assessments people need as a starting point on the path to recovery, along with the counseling, workshops, and case management they need to find their own way. CARE also provides school- and community-based programs about substance misuse, leads workshops on parenting and anger management, and offers the SMILE program for parents separating or divorcing with children under the age of 18. Proceeds support prevention and intervention programs and services for financially strapped individuals and families. For more information about CARE or to make a donation, visit their web site.
