People got into the Halloween spirit Saturday morning while supporting the Erie Playhouse at its Ghost Light 5K.
The Playhouse previously held the 5K as a fundraiser and decided to bring the event back this year. Organizers set a goal of 100 runners but surpassed that number, with 226 racers taking part.
Participants followed a course through downtown Erie, with the first finishers crossing the line in under 19 minutes.
Organizers said the event was not only a successful fundraiser but also a fun way for the community to celebrate the Halloween season.
All proceeds will benefit the Erie Playhouse and support its work bringing performances to the community.
