Jeepers Creeper participants will get to race in the first ever costume race at the Garden (costumes not mandatory but highly encouraged). Runners and walkers can then enjoy free admission to the Garden to enjoy our fall exhibit: “Scarecrow Hollow” <---- get it, Jeepers Creepers?.?.?

To top it off, the 10K participants will run the first 10K and longest distance race ever held at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. Beautiful, flowy trails and a festive atmosphere will make this race the perfect kick off to fall and spooky szn! There may even be a few special prizes for those who really get in the mood and go all out!

After the race, while you cool down and cheer on all the participants, enjoy firepits, smores’, live music, cold beverages, and seasonal competitions at the Trailhead Store.
