Scarecrow 5k
The Scarecrow 5k takes place on October 17, 2026 at Ashton Gardens in Lehi, Utah. The course runs through Ashton Gardens and the adjacent Discovery Garden and features community-built scarecrows along the route.
The event is a 3.1-mile (5K) run that is wheels-friendly; strollers and running aides are welcome. Aid is available in the finish area and at one on-course station near mile 1.6 stocked with water and POWERADE.
All 5K registrants receive a race T-shirt, bib number, and a finisher medal. The open division awards recognize the first three male and female finishers and costume prizes are given for Best Costume and Best Group Costume. The organizer maintains a no-refund policy but allows participant transfers and deferrals under specified deadlines and fees; transfers must be completed before September 30, 2026 and deferrals are available for the next year Tulip 5k.
Packet pickup is scheduled for Friday, October 16, from 12 pm to 8 pm at the Ashton Garden Visitors Center roundabout; packets will not be available the morning of the race.
