Each year, Cheadle Lake Park is transformed into a spooky, fun Halloween-themed Pumpkin Village for racers and their families to enjoy! Halloween costumes by everyone are encouraged and there is a costume contest before the races start! There is also a Kids Zone with fun games and activities and a beer and cider garden for the adults.
The actual races themselves are moderate ability level and mostly asphalt, with a few sections of dirt and gravel. Both races run along the country roads near the park and alongside of the South Santiam River. The out-and-back loop course offers the chance to run along either side of the river by pretty farmlands and run through a pair of bridge crossings before heading back in to the race finish line. This race is rain or shine!
Half Marathon participants will receive a Tech Shirt, a reusable goodie bag filled with gifts and coupons, and a finisher’s medal. 8K participants will receive a Tech Shirt and Runaway Pumpkin insulated lunch bag. After you finish the race, stick around for the award ceremonies – top 3 age group winners and top 3 overall! Woo hoo!
