Witch Way 5K Run Should be a Scream

For the second-consecutive year, Ross A. Lurgio Middle School welcomes hundreds of local ghosts, skeletons and, well, everyday runners for the Witch Way 5K Road Race.

This year's fun run, which benefits technology at the school, is scheduled for tomorrow, Oct. 29.

Costumes are welcome at this event and a parade exhibit will be held for all those who choose to dress up prior to the run/walk.

The professionally-timed race, which last year brought more than 500 participants and raised roughly $16,000, begins at Lurgio and awards will be presented to the the top finishers in each of the nine age groups for both males and females. The kids fun run, which is approximately a half mile around the middle/high school complex, starts at 10:30 a.m. and the 5K Run/Walk starts at 11:00 a.m.

Awards will also be provided to the top-three costumes in addition to a select few other prizes that will be handed out at the event.

Those who register online today may do so at a discounted rate of $28. Race-day registration begins at 9 a.m. Sunday and is $30, and the kids run is $5 for each participating child.

Shower and changing facilities are available at the school from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and race results will be available at online following the event.
