The Build a Spartan Foundation invites you and your families to join us for a spooky good time at the Mid Valley High School grounds on Saturday, October 31st. This 3rd Annual 5k Run & 2 Mile Walk will begin with day of registration and packet pickup at 7:30am. The run and walk will be at 9am with the awards being presented immediately following the finish of the competitors. Participants are encouraged to dress up in their favorite Halloween costumes for this fun event.
After the race, stick around and bring the kiddo's as we take over the Mid Valley High School Parking lot for our first ever Truck or Treat! It'll be a safe environment to bring your lil' trick or treaters to show off their costumes, try out their jokes and get every parents favorite thing for their kids.... SUGAR!!! The Truck or Treat is a FREE event, we just ask that anyone wishing to attend registers so we have an idea of how many to expect.
