DENVER (CBS4) - Scream Scram is the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver's Halloween-themed 5K run/walk.
There is everything including walking the orange carpet to show off your best Halloween costume, the 5K run/walk through Washington Park and then a trick-or-treat opportunity at the end of the race.
It all starts with a variety of costume contests for kids of all ages and even our furry friends.
"We're all familiar with walking the red carpet out in Hollywood, We've changed it up a little bit to be Halloween-themed, and it's come walk the orange carpet where we've got a number of costume contests, and great give-away prizes," said Erin Porteous, Chief Executive Officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
After the costume contests, there is the Spooky Sneak, which is a 100-yard dash for the younger runners. Then the 5K kicks off and winds through the park.
"After you finish the race, you're greeted right at Trick-or-Treat Street, which features a long line of vendors, who have games, activities. We've got food sponsors, beverage sponsors. You will go home with plenty of candy and a full tummy after the race," Porteous said.
There are registration fees for the event, with all the proceeds going to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Denver.
