The GaDuGi SafeCenter is having a Halloween-themed 5K run Sunday along the Kansas River levee.
Registration for “The Boo! Run” begins at 12:30 p.m. in the parking lot near 402 N. Second St. and the run begins at 1 p.m. The cost is $25.
Participants are encouraged to run in costumes, and prizes will be given for best costumes in addition to the top runners.
There will be family-friendly activities following the race in the parking lot until 2:30 p.m. They include face painting, bean bag toss, sidewalk chalk, arts and crafts and, of course, candy.
Individuals can pre-register for the race between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Friday at GaDuGi SafeCenter, 2518 Ridge Court. Pre-registration cost is $20.
Proceeds benefit the safe center, which provides 24-hour victim-centered services for women, children and men affected by sexual violence in Douglas and Jefferson counties. Last year, GaDuGi provided direct services for 176 people.
