Our Story
The Scary Scurry Kids Fun Run is a popular annual event held in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, around Halloween. Organized in partnership with the Fond du Lac United Way, the Scary Scurry was established to encourage children to get active and support a good cause, as proceeds from the race benefit the United Way’s community initiatives.
​
Here's a bit of its history:
-
Beginnings: The Scary Scurry was launched as a way to engage young runners in a fun, themed race that promotes physical fitness and community involvement. The event includes a festive Halloween atmosphere, with participants often encouraged to dress in costumes.
-
Partnership with FVSBank: FVSBank has become a key supporter of the event, helping fund and promote it within the community. This partnership has strengthened the race’s impact, allowing it to raise funds for local organizations, including the United Way.
-
Community Impact: The Scary Scurry has become more than just a race; it's a community tradition that raises awareness for United Way’s work and gives families a fun way to support local charities.
-
Event Day: The race usually includes several distances to accommodate different age groups and abilities, ensuring everyone from the youngest to older kids - including adults - can participate.
The Scary Scurry is now a highly anticipated family-friendly event in Fond du Lac, bringing together kids, families, and local supporters to celebrate Halloween while contributing to meaningful causes.
