FREAK on MAIN 1 Mile Run @ Lincoln Middle School, 145 West Street, Edwardsville, IL, United States on 31 October 2014

The inagural Freak on Main 1 Mile Run will kick off this years Halloween Parade in Edwardsville Illinois! This is a 1 mile run where anything goes! Jump rope, Hoola Hoop, juggle, play a musical instrument, wear stilts, run backward, or make up your own freaky trick in the OPEN FREAK DIVISION…FOR ONE MILE! This is a point-to-point FREAK run that follows the Halloween Parade route beginning at the Lincoln Middle School and ending at Edwardsville City Hall on Main Street. This years Parade theme is “FREAKY FRIDAY!” The Freak on Main 1 Mile Run will fit perfectly with the theme! Run participants receive a FREAK on MAIN HOODIE; the logo glows in the dark! Run participants also receive a FREAK on MAIN pint glass. After the Run be sure to stay and watch the Edwardsville Halloween Parade! Join in the estimated crowd of 25,000 spectators that line the streets of downtown Edwardsville in anticipation of this annual tradition.

Marching bands, school groups, organizations, entertainers, and more than 100 floats take to the streets. Event starts promptly at 6:00 PM. Runners are asked to be at the site and in the corral by 5:30 PM.
