The Great Candy Run is once again coming to the Atlantic Theatres, on Saturday, September 27th. With an array of sweet treats to allure the locals, the growing event will host more than 1,000 participants and spectators and is presented by Black Knight Financial.
The event features a traditional 5K run/walk with a competitive Stroller Division, Sweet Pete’s Tiny Tot Trot, the 1Mile Kids Run, and a family festival full of games and activities, refreshments, a costume contest, and local entertainment. Unique to this event is the “sweetest finish ever” with a candy and ice cream buffet by sponsor and local favorite, Sweet Pete’s candy shop.
