About This Race
Indian River County First Responders are excited to present the SEBASTIAN SCREAM 5K & HAUNTED RAIL TRAIL.
Why it Matters: First Responders face intense challenges on the job every day. Proceeds from this event will directly support counseling services, peer-support programs, and critical stress debriefing initiatives for our local Police, Sheriff, Fire and EMS personnel.

- Each race participant will receive a Sebastian Scream 5K & Haunted Rail Trail T-shirt while supplies last. Register by October 6th for a guaranteed shirt.
