All participants were encouraged to wear Halloween costumes during Saturday morning’s Trick or Trot 5K Run/Walk and Little Devil 1K Dash in Villa Park. The Villa Park Junior Women’s Club (VPJWC) held the event, which began with the 5-kilometer run/walk at 9 a.m. The 1-kilometer dash for kids started at about 9:45 a.m. Both races began and ended on the Illinois Prairie Path, near the Rugaard Gazebo. The photo shows some young runners heading west on the Prairie Path during the opening seconds of the Little Devil 1K Dash.
