The course includes hills and finishes downhill onto a grass finish next to the softball fields along Culver Road. The kids race is a single 1/2 mile loop on the grass by the softball fields and uses the same finish. Children receive a medal and a Halloween candy bag at the finish; a pumpkin may be provided depending on availability.

Limited parking is available at Riley Lodge, with additional parking in the Cobbs Hill area and nearby lots. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
