About 80 walkers and runners have signed on for the Frightfully Fun Run, a midnight event Saturday to raise money for the 2011 Iola High School after-prom party.
Those running will follow a five-kilometer course that starts at Waugh-Yokum and Friskel Memorial Chapels, 16 N. Buckeye St., then follows Cottonwood to the east entrance of Highland Cemetery. Runners will dash through the cemetery and return to the funeral home by way of Jefferson Avenue. Walkers will take a three-kilometer course that will cut short of the cemetery and go from Cottonwood to Jefferson by way of Buchanan.
Deanne Burris, one of the organizers, said cones and light towers would mark the course and “we’ll have ‘scare stations’ along the way.” Participants are encouraged to wear costumes, with the event starting at the crack of Halloween.
Entry fee is $15 and sign-up remains open at Iola High School, although those registering now won’t receive T-shirts until later, Burris noted.
