The first 1,200 registrants will receive a moisture-wicking long sleeve t-shirt and first dibs on the delicious baked goods, fruits, and treats, donated by local businesses and our very own residential houses. The day will also include costumes, a pumpkin decorating contest, prizes, and an award ceremony for the overall winners and the top runners in each age group.
