Spook Out Cancer : Saratoga Springs, NY
Spook Out Cancer is a Halloween-themed community 5K run and walk held at the Orenda Pavilion in Saratoga Spa State Park. The event is the second annual edition and benefits the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN), the nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate of the American Cancer Society. Funds raised support ACS CAN New York’s work to improve cancer prevention, detection, treatment, and access to care for patients, survivors, and thrivers.
The course is presented as a 5K distance (3.1 Miles) for runners and walkers. Packet pickup is available on race day. Day-of registration is offered, with cash or Venmo accepted. The listed registration fee for the 5K is $32.00.
Facilities and activities on the morning include raffles with tickets available for purchase (1 ticket for $5 or 3 tickets for $10, cash or Venmo accepted), a trick-or-treat table, a group stretching and breathing session, and opening remarks. Raffle winners will be announced later in the morning; winners do not need to be present to claim prizes. Dogs on leash are allowed. Top finishers will receive prizes. Local vendors will offer apples, cider donuts, and fresh cider.
Parking is available in the main SPAC parking lot off Route 50 at no charge; parking directly at Orenda Pavilion requires a $10 park entrance fee not included in registration.
