About the Event

Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Dryden Creamery for an unforgettable 3-mile race along the scenic Dryden Rail Trail. Starting at 5 PM, this spirited run takes you through charming landscapes and past historic railbeds before turning back to the creamery.
As runners complete their journey, they are rewarded with a delectable finisher's treat from the creamery itself. Each participant is timed for an added competitive edge, while awards will be given in several categories: top male, female, and non-binary runner; spookiest costume; best solo and couples costumes; most creative group (3 or more participants); and overall most creative costume.
For those looking to extend the experience beyond race day, shirts are available for purchase. If you're interested in supporting this event as a sponsor, contact races@happilyrunning.com for details.
Join us at Dryden Creamery for an evening filled with fun, fitness, and friendly competition under the cool autumn sky.
