Dawn Cunningham coordinated the event for the Edwardsville YMCA. She said the race is held for families to have good time and begin the Halloween fun in a healthy way.

“Kids were able to participate with their parents,” she said. “The children realize with this that an active lifestyle is something they can do, which is fun.”

The race started at the Esic branch of the Edwardsville YMCA and rolled onto Madison County trails and back for the finish.

“The course was not too terribly hilly,” she said. “It is a great time of year to have an event like this. We award prizes for the costume winners. We had a lot of costumes this year and break them down by kid, take their picture while they are running.”

Logan Sherril was the overall costume contest winner.
