October 8, 2013 - Cedar Rapids, IA - Sponsored by Theatre Cedar Rapids & NewBo City Market, The Costume Run is co-presented by two Third Street nonprofits that hope to make an annual tradition of this interactive and theatrical twist on the traditional 5K fun run/walk. When asked about the partnership with the NewBo City Market, TCR Executive Director Casey Prince said "Saturday, October 27th is the grand opening date for the New Bo City Market. ...We're very excited for this new neighbor of ours down Third Street, and not just because their new outdoor stage now stands where the formerly Cedar Rapids Community Theatre once stood. We're excited because we know we can and will complement this new community asset well in the years to come... I truly hope The Costume Run becomes an annual tradition in advance of Halloween, always on a weekend afternoon and always accessible to adults of all ages and abilities... Yes, this run will be much more interactive than your typical race." The race, taking place at 4:00pm October 27, 2012 starts on stage at Theatre Cedar Rapids and follows a path downtown that is focused primarily on the trail, including Greene Square Park. The race also follows along the Cedar River and features a stretch that actually runs through the Circle of Ash haunted house (with the lights on). Other interactive features of the run include activities approximately every kilometer of the course. Every activity completed earns participants a chance at door prizes.
