Organizers say the walk/run starts at Gold-N-Glaze Donuts and Coffee Shop at 8am. The route is now nearly four miles long, and includes legs through Mount Mora Cemetery, and past the Robidoux Row Museum and Patee House Museum.
During the family-friendly 5K, participants can stop at designated spots for a quick drink and a donut.
“What a perfect way to highlight and raise money for some of St. Joseph’s gems: Mount Mora Cemetery, Robidoux Row and the Patee House, than to walk or run past them on a nice fall morning,” said Natalie Redmond, Vice President of Membership for the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce. “Adding a trip down Mausoleum Row adds a bit of spookiness and extra bit of history to the October event, and the extra length may allow runners to have an extra donut.”
The run was scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. at Gold-N-Glaze, 1825 Frederick Ave. The entry fees support the cemetery and museums.
