Halloween weekend brings about Ubethons’ race + costume content + obstacle event extravaganza known as the Halloweenathon. On a mild Saturday morning, several hundred participants showed up to race a 5K or 10K or to run/walk a 2.5K or 5K fun run. And to show off their costumes for the costume contest!
