The Screaming Pumpkin Marathon and Relay, 5K run & 2 mile Walk

The Marathon and Relay: Come take part in PATFC's inaugural Screaming Pumpkin Prediction Marathon and Relay held on Halloween Eve, where running fast may help you escape from the zombies and ghouls, but it won't necessarily win you the race! The Screaming Pumpkin, Peoria Illinois' first marathon event ever, promises to be one of the craziest, hilliest, and darkest running events in the country.

Run by yourself, or with a team of 2 or 4. Either way, you'll have no watch and no clock on the course: Just you, the cemetery and the night sky. Whoever finishes closest to midnight without going over, wins the race. Participants can begin running anytime after 5:00 PM on October 30th, depending on the length of time they predict it will take them to complete the 26.2 mile distance before, or ideally, ON the stroke of midnight. Finishers who make it back alive before midnight, will receive a wand, a tiara and a finisher's photo. Finishers who make it back alive after midnight will receive a pumpkin. The marathon course will close and all runners will be asked to leave the course at 1:00 AM.
