Bust out those Halloween costumes early, sweat a little bit, and have a great time!

What better time to play dress up than at the first ever Jeepers Creepers 5k and 10k at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden!

Jeepers Creeper participants will get to race in the first ever costume race at the Garden (costumes not mandatory but highly encouraged).  Runners and walkers can then enjoy free admission to the Garden to enjoy our fall exhibit: “Scarecrow Hollow” <—- get it, Jeepers Creepers?.?.?

To top it off, the 10K participants will run the first 10K and longest distance race ever held at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden.  Beautiful, flowy trails and a festive atmosphere will make this race the perfect kick off to fall and spooky season!  There may even be a few special prizes for those who really get in the mood and go all out!

After the race, while you cool down and cheer on all the participants, enjoy firepits, smores’, live music, cold beverages, and seasonal competitions at the Trailhead Store.

Custom awards will be given to the top three overall male and female finishers and the top three male and female finishers 14 and under thru 60 and better in five-year age increments for both the 10K and 5K.

Ages: 5K – No min or max; 10K – No min or max

Cost:

  • 5K – $35, $45, $55
  • 10K – $45, $55, $65

*Plan for this to be a multi-surface race that may take place on paved roads, grass fields, natural trails or garden pathways.

*Please do not expect a “stroller friendly” course, but it is doable with a running or hiking stroller (you’re definitely not setting a stroller PR for sure).
