Scarecrow Festival Fun Run/Walk
The Scarecrow Festival Fun Run/Walk is a family-focused running event in downtown Oxford, Michigan, with the start and finish on Hudson St. The event is presented as the 4th annual edition and includes short distance options for children and adults.
Distances include:

- 1 mile
- Lil Pumpkin Dash (100 yards) for ages 7 and younger
Registration fees are listed per event: $30 for the 5K, $20 for the 1 mile, and $10 for the Lil Pumpkin Dash. A family discount applies after four registrations on the same transaction; a $5 discount is applied to each registration in that transaction.
The course is open to traffic and participants should follow pedestrian laws. The event is dog and stroller friendly; dogs must be leashed. Prizes are awarded to the top male and top female finishers in both the 5K and the 1 mile races. Proceeds benefit the Stronger Together Downtown Trolley Express program.
Race day registration is available on Hudson St. The atmosphere is described as fall-themed, and participants are encouraged to wear fall or Halloween costumes and to remain downtown for scarecrow festival activities held immediately after the races.
