Volunteers

As many of you know, it takes a village of volunteers to help with a race and even more importantly a half marathon. We would love to have as many volunteers out on the course and helping at the start/finish line as possible. We also give community service or volunteer hours! Click the link below or email info@thegoosechase.org for more information.

This race option which will be adult, kid, stroller, AND dog friendly! Feel free to dress up and make this a fun time for everyone! In the spirit of a family fun event, we will not be timing the race. The 1 mile course will stay on the track with the same start/finish as the half marathon. The race will begin at 8 a.m. This race will be $20 and all participants will receive a t-shirt.

Please be aware that the Monster Mile logo is what you see here and not the same as the half marathon design.

Who you gonna call?

We are so excited to have the Smoky Mountain Ghostbusters joining us for the race!

Make sure you find them for pictures and watch out…you might get slimed!

COSTUME CONTEST

We LOVE to have fun and the costume contest is such an easy way to enjoy this event! Get dressed up in your Halloween costumes and join us for this contest! Funny, scary, DIY, bought, simple, extravagant…whatever you choose, come join us for the costume contest before the Half Marathon start. Anyone wanting to enter the contest will need to be at the start/finish line by 7 a.m. so that we can have our judges decide who will be the 2023 Haunted Half Marathon Costume Winner!

REFUND POLICY

The Goose Chase has a no refund policy due to the pre-ordering of event shirts, medals, bibs, etc. We understand that emergencies or last minute schedule changes do occur, therefore, to better accommodate you, we have some other options instead.

  • You can transfer your entry to someone else
  • You can switch to the virtual option and turn in your virtual race time at a later time, and still receive the shirt and medal.
  • You can defer to the next year

If none of these options work for you and a refund is still needed, there will be a $10 service charge through September 30th and we are not responsible for the online registration fee. After October 1st, there will not be any refunds. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@thegoosechase.org
