MARATHON MASQUERADES FOR HALLOWEEN

From Duck Key to Gulfside Village, Marathon enjoyed a weekend-long celebration of the year’s spookiest weekend as Halloween events around the city returned in full force. Beginning on Saturday morning with a costumed fun run for kids around the Sombrero Beach neighborhood and continuing through four excellent trick-or-treat options on Monday night, Marathon’s kids and families did Halloween right.
