Other Spooky Details
🕸️ Parking – Beware Where You Park! 🕸️
Event parking will be in the lot next to the eerie Rose Barn. A section of the lot will be blocked off with cones and caution tape—this is the starting corral, carefully placed to spare your legs from an immediate uphill haunt! Park wisely and don’t disturb the spirits of the starting zone.
If the lot fills up, spillover parking is available across Pierce Mill Rd at the boathouse lot.
🚫 DO NOT park in the smaller lot next to the Rose Barn lot—this is reserved for the hardworking souls of OTB restaurant.
🎃 Restrooms – No Tricks, Just Toilets! 🎃
Need a pit stop before your run through the haunted trails? Restrooms are lurking inside the Rose Barn downstairs. Use them before the race, or risk a truly terrifying mid-run emergency!
