Hundreds of children and adults donned their Halloween costumes Sunday morning for Evanston’s first-ever Trick or Treat Trot at Centennial Park.
“Evanston is a wonderful community with tons of families,” said Jeremy Solomon, a race organizer. “We thought it would be a great opportunity to bring the kids out and have a great event at a beautiful location.”
The event, planned by JetEvent Productions, started at 9 a.m., with races designed for kids under the age of 12. They ranged from a 100-meter dash to a 1-mile run. Most young participants wore their Halloween costumes, including superhero and princess attire.
“The costume theme is cool, and the kids like it, so I think it’s great,” said Rich Werneth, a parent whose children ran in the race.
