Event Description

 

Description

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.
