Race Information
Grab your costumes & kids, or leave all that at home. Come out for the best Halloween themed event of the season and be fast, have a great time, or do both. We'll have plenty of Halloween goodies, and plenty of music and fun atmosphere at the start and finish line. Both the 5K & 13K start at 8:30 AM at Rock Creek Park in Dawsonville GA. Social Distancing measures will still apply. We'll be chip timing the start & finish. We'll have an awesome long sleeve cotton shirt for participants & awards in both races to the top 3 Overall M/F winners, the top 3 M/F Masters winners, Overall M/F Grand Master, Overall M/F Senior Master, and the top 3 in all the regular 5 year Age Groups.
We're working with a few different organizations during the event. The primary beneficiary is the MS Center of Atlanta whose mission is to improve the health and hope of MS patients through advocacy, education, state of the art treatment and research leading to a more promising future.
