The Danger Run Begins!
For the last 20 years, Danger Run fans from near and far have gathered together in the chilly fall air to solve clues in a Halloween quest that leads them throughout the city in search of the area’s best haunted houses. The object of the spooky game is to follow the clues and make as few mistakes as possible to accumulate the most accurate mileage. The Top 25 closest to exact mileage are invited to the final showdown to compete for huge prizes and the title of Danger Run Champ. Traditionally, the Danger Run has included two haunted destinations with the scavenger hunt style game. For 2014, founder and company president, Joe Bulleit, along with his partners, Michael Book and Mike Kimzey, wanted to celebrate their 20th Anniversary by giving back to their fans. For the first time in their history, the Danger Run will include 3 haunted attractions in the Danger Run adventure. For just $20 per person, Danger Run participants will get an entire evening of unique Halloween entertainment including the fun scavenger hunt style game, admission to three haunted attractions (valued at $60 per person), free food from DQ Grill and Chill, free fangs and a $10 Speedway gas card for carloads of four or more. 771-9750
