Get ready for a ghoulishly good time at the Spooky Spirits 5K, returning for its fifth annual celebration on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in scenic Suwanee, Georgia. This unique event, brought to you by the team behind the popular Beer Chaser 5K, blends a timed 5K experience with a festive Halloween "cocktails and costumes" twist. Whether you're aiming for a personal best or a leisurely stroll with friends, this Peachtree Road Race-qualifying event offers an unforgettable fall experience.

The course winds through the picturesque Suwanee Creek Greenway before finishing back at Suwanee Town Center Park. Runners can anticipate a trail course featuring some hills, adding a dynamic challenge to the run. What truly sets this race apart are the "Spirit Stops" along the route. Participants can choose a spirited ticket option to pause at five distinct aid stations, each offering a 3-ounce cocktail sample with a unique theme, making for a fun and hydrating journey. For those opting for a non-stop run, fear not – all runners (over 21) are rewarded with a full cocktail at the finish line.

Embrace the Halloween spirit by donning your most creative costume, as prizes will be awarded for the best female, male, and group outfits. Typical race day conditions in mid-October in Suwanee include pleasant highs around 73°F and lows near 51°F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a spirited run. Beyond the race, the finish line transforms into a lively block party with vendors and sponsor booths. Every participant also receives an official Spooky Spirits 5K shirt, a commemorative medal, and a souvenir glass to celebrate their accomplishment.
