Running through a cemetery around this spooky time of year can mean just one thing, it is time for the annual Howl’oween Trick or Trot.  This is the 4th year that the Lima Kiwanis Club has put on the event that features a 5k race, a one mile fun run and virtual pet contest.  There were around 150 runners and walkers signed up for the run that takes them from Faurot Park through Woodlawn Cemetery and back.     The Kiwanis club oversees many youth clubs in Lima City School and Heir Force Academy, plus a club at Ohio State Lima.  The money raised from the Trick or Trot, goes to further their mission to teach those students community services and leadership skills.

The run also includes a virtual pet contest and a mile fun run. The club sponsors K-Kids for elementary schools, Key Club for high schoolers, Circle-K at the college level, and the Aktion Club for individuals with developmental disabilities. All working to build future leaders.
