The Scary Scamper in Florence, AL
The Scary Scamper is a Halloween themed running event in downtown Florence that features a 5K race and a 1 mile fun run. Both races start and finish at the intersection of N. Walnut St. and E. Mobile St., in the 200 block of Walnut Street.
The event was rescheduled after a previously approved race permit was revoked because of staffing shortages with local police departments. The organizer listed a new date of November 14, 2026. The Florence Ghostbusters are listed as hosts and will be on hand with their Ecto 1.
Race entries include pre registered t shirts; shirts are also available for race day registration in limited quantities. Awards include medals and prizes for the top three male and top three female finishers, plus prizes for the three best costumes judged by the Florence Ghostbusters. All proceeds benefit the Sheffield Cross Country program and are designated for uniforms, race fees, and travel expenses.
