[/media-credit]BYUSA program director Sarah Crandall said the Spooky Sprint this year’s name for the annual Honor 5K. The Honor 5K has existed since 1990 and happens to provide students with a fun way to remember the Honor Code. With this year’s new name and theme, students get to celebrate Halloween along with the Honor Code.
“The purpose is to provide a fun and exciting activity for the students that encourages commitment to the Honor Code,” Crandall said. “We would like for each runner to feel like they are a part of the BYU community, have a greater reverence for the Honor Code, and have an enjoyable time. It’s also going to be a great way to cut some calories before loading up on Halloween candy.”
“It is meant to help students have fun, exercise and feel the Halloween spirit,” Driggs said. “It’s a great chance to run with your friends and have a good laugh.”
Driggs also said free t-shirts will be given to the first 250 people who register, and there are still t-shirts available.
Sarah Herzig, a freshman from Houston, is helping to organize the event and said it will be a fun way to celebrate Halloween a little early.
“It’s a worthwhile thing to do on your weekend to celebrate Halloween,” she said. “I’m personally excited to see everyone’s costumes.”
