The Skelly Run By Skelly City
Welcome to the Skelly Run, a bone-chilling skelly fun run that takes place under the cover of night on the eerie streets and parks of our city. This unique event combines the thrill of a nighttime run with the heart-pounding excitement of towering 12 ft skeletons. Perfect for runners of all levels, the Skelly Run promises an unforgettable adventure filled with suspense, challenges, and fun.
The Skelly Run winds through the darkened city streets, transforming familiar surroundings into a haunting landscape. Participants will navigate through shadowy parks, and dimly lit avenues, each turn bringing new surprises and Skelly encounters.
As you make your way through the course, you’ll find skelly’s and some of their halloween favorite fiends waiting to scare you.
After-Party: Celebrate your at the post-race after-party! Enjoy music, food, drinks, and entertainment as you share your experiences with fellow participants. The after-party is a great opportunity to relax, unwind, and revel in the thrill of the Skelly Run and Skelly City.
Registration and Safety: Register early to secure your spot in this one-of-a-kind event. Safety is our top priority, and we have measures in place to ensure a fun and secure experience for all participants. Our team of trained staff and volunteers will be on hand to assist you throughout the event.
