On Thursday, October 30, the eve of Halloween, at the historic West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, all area runners are invited to run for their lives on a 3k course through the cemetery where they are sure to meet some ghosts, goblins and other creatures of the night along the way.

Get your adrenaline rushing not only with a good run, but with the thrill of a good scare this Halloween. On Thursday, October 30, the eve of Halloween, at the historic West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Bala Cynwyd, all area runners are invited to run for their lives on a 3k course through the cemetery where they are sure to meet some ghosts, goblins and other creatures of the night along the way.

A ScareCrew dressed to terrify, made up of volunteers lead by Councilman James Kenney and including Unite Fitness members, will be stationed behind graves along the course to scare some speed into you. Feel free to get in the spirit and come in costume as well.

All proceeds go to local nonprofit MANNA, which prepares and delivers meals and nutrition counseling to residents of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey free of charge.

"Learning of the good works at MANNA, we've come to admire the hard work and dedication of those working and volunteering there," said Deborah Cassidy, director of sales and marketing at West Laurel Hill. "MANNA is a miracle to those in need and a fabulous organization deserving of our support."

Sponsors of the event include, Comcast, ChatterBlast Media, Gabello Studios, Tag Strategies, Unite Fitness and Sage Communications.

Registration for Run4UrLife will start at 6 p.m. and the run will takeoff at 7 p.m. There is limited registration this year so make sure you register as early as possible. The cost of the run is $30 and includes a Run4UrLife t-shirt. Pre-register online at http://mannapa.org/run4urlife.
