This annual event is not just a race but a spirited celebration combining fitness with festive fun.
A Twist on Tradition
The Spooky Spirits 5K is the brainchild of the team behind the award-winning Suwanee Wine Fest. This year marks its fourth edition, promising to be better than ever. What sets this event apart from your typical 5K? It’s all about cocktails and costumes! Whether you’re a serious runner aiming for a personal best or prefer to stroll while sipping delicious drinks, this event caters to all.
You have two ticket options: run without stops or enjoy the “Spirit stops.” If you choose the latter, you can sample cocktails at various stations along the course. Imagine running through a scenic route while sipping refreshing beverages—what could be better?
The Race Experience
As you lace up your running shoes, picture this: five themed Spirit Stations await you along the route, each serving a different cocktail sample. For those opting for the non-stop ticket, fear not! Every participant over 21 will still receive a full 12-ounce cocktail at the finish line to celebrate your accomplishment.
But wait, there’s more! After crossing the finish line, you’ll receive a cocktail and an official Spooky Spirits 5K shirt, medal, and souvenir glass to commemorate your spirited run. And if you’re feeling particularly festive, don’t forget to dress up! There will be awards for the Most Spirited costumes in several categories—best female costume, best male costume, and best group costume. So unleash your creativity and show off your Halloween spirit!
Vendor Village
Once you’ve completed the race (or perhaps after a stroll), check out the vendor and sponsor tents set up at Town Center Park. This is a great opportunity to discover local businesses and grab some goodies while enjoying the lively atmosphere.
