About this race
October is domestic violence awareness month, and we're calling all racers, walkers, and fun runners to join us for the second annual Run for the Coven 5k to benefit Wellspring in Saratoga. Festivities begin with a 1/4 mile fun run for racers of all ages, followed by a scenic 5k race around the iconic Saratoga Spa State Park. T shirts available for registrants while supplies last. Costumes welcome on race day, the witchier the better when we Run for the Coven!
