City of Clare Halloween 

 

Due to COVID-19, Halloween events will be a little different this year than in years past. Our normally scheduled Halloween Spook-Tacular and Clare Fire Department hotdog handout will not be running, due to the current restrictions. However, we will be still running our Pumpkin Run and a Tract-or-Treat at the Emerald Isle Recreation Complex on October 31, 2020. 

 

The Pumpkin Run is a fun event, which also features a costume contest where participants can compete while wearing a costume and win Clare Cash that can be used at participating businesses. Prizes will be awarded for the top five costumes.  

 

Race Day registration and packet pick-up will be at the Emerald Isle Recreation Complex (303 Pinecrest Street, Clare) from 9 am to 9:45 am.  The 5K Run starts at 10:00 am and the 5K Walk will start one minute after the run.  Both are out and back starting and ending at the Emerald Isle Recreation Complex and traveling along Markley and then onto Dunlop and back. Entry for the Run/Walk is $20 before October 18th and $25 for late registrations.  All finishers will receive a participant ribbon and 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place runners in the 12 and under and 13 and over category, will receive a trophy. 

 

Our Tract-or-Treat event will take place from 12 -2 p.m. and will feature tractors of all shapes, sizes, and colors. Visitors will be able to view both new and antique tractors and will even get some goodies to take home! At this event we will have one-way foot traffic through a loop at the complex to allow for physical distancing and a staggered flow of foot traffic. Clare Family Fitness will also be holding their Halloween fun obstacle course during the event. 

 

Various Halloween festivities will be taking place through Halloween and Clare Parks and Recreation will share them on the Clare Parks and Recreation Facebook page, as they become available. If your family, sports team, church group, business, civic club, etc. would like to volunteer with our event, please contact Clare Parks and Recreation.  Call 386-7541 extension 213 or email jsimmer@cityofclare.org.
