Scarecrow Scramble Nighttime 5K
Run or walk to help us provide recreation scholarships to low-income families who do not have the means to participate in recreation activities.
This event is a USATF certified race winding through slightly hilly paths of Lisle Community Park lit gently by luminaria for safety. Now in its 18th year, the Scarecrow Scramble is a premiere running experience race for the most avid runners and race participants, while promoting quality and safety.
All proceeds benefit the Lisle Partners for Parks Foundation Scholarship Fund & Lisle Teens with Character Program.
