It’s time for a preemptive sugar rush, no? That is to say, before you stuff your pumpkin full of delicious fun-size treats, what say you run down the ol’ calorie count via the Watters Creek Second Annual Trek or Treat 5K at 8:30 a.m. Saturday. Oh, and there’s a fun run at 8 a.m. if 5Ks aren’t your thing. The day continues with live music, awards, face-painting and trick-or-treating (see, we told you) around Watters Creek, and culminates in an outdoor screening of The Haunted Mansion at 7 p.m. Register to run at trekortreat5k.com (it benefits the Allen Parks Foundation) or find out more details about the family-friendly day of fun at watterscreek.com.
