    The Course

    Run or walk through the revitalized Historic 7th Avenue District, experience the breathtaking beauty of fall on the Oklawaha Greenway, and conquer the twists and turns of the Trick or Trail 5k or Spooky Sprint course. Both courses are fairly flat and offer a blend of nature and pavement, ensuring a speedy and enjoyable race. There will be one water station on the 5K course just before mile 1, near Sullivan Park and the Boys and Girls Club. Due to the flat and flood-prone nature of this route, we have a back-up route that will be implemented, if needed.
