Why run from the spirits when you can take them with you! The sixth annual Spooky Spirit 5K, organized by the team behind the award-winning Beer Chaser, offers 5k and Suwanee Wine Fest, is a
Cocktails and Costumes twist on the traditional 5K. This timed, Peachtree Road Race qualifying event is fitting for anyone, whether you are a competitive runner trying to beat your personal record, or you’re simply looking to sip and stroll with your closest cocktail loving friends. Just choose the ticket that channels your Halloween spirit - either non-stop or with Spirit stops - and we’ll all cheers together at the finish line!
The 5K will start and end at Suwanee Town Center Park. For those who purchase a ticket with “spirits", you’ll be able to pause at each of the five Spirit Stations (hello, liquid refreshment) along the course and hydrate with a 3 ounce cocktail sample. Each Spirit Station will feature a different cocktail and theme, guaranteed to be more treat than trick. For those who opt to run straight through without Spirit stops, don't fear, we have you covered - ALL runners (over 21) will get to enjoy a full cocktail at the end of the race.
Prizes will be awarded after the race for the Most Spirited costumes, so come dressed in your most festive running gear! Awards will go to (1) best female costume, (2) best male costume and (3) best group costume
Need to walk off some of that alcohol? There will be vendors and sponsor booths waiting for you at the finish line!
Every runner will also get to take home an official Spooky Spirits 5K shirt, medal and souvenir glass to brag about your well-deserved accomplishment.
CHEERS!
*All runners who participate in cocktail sampling must be 21 years or older and show a valid ID day of the race

The 5K faster than fast course will produce many memorable PRs and the 10K/5K with their exciting downhill finishes will boast many Peachtree Road Race qualifying times for 2027. We are now proven to be Metro Atlanta's fastest 5k.

The Thriller Lake Endurance Run is a 12, 6, and 3 hour timed loop event on the 2.2 mile loop around Miller Lake at Little Mulberry Park in Gwinnett County, GA. It's a Halloween party combined with a
race, featuring runners in costume, food, and music.
For 2025, Classic Running and Mount To Coast are providing overall winners with their choice of shoes!
The Trick or Treat Fun Run is for kids and adults of all ages looking for a trick or treat experience in a fun, safe, and positive community setting. Participants will complete one loop of the Miller Lake paved 2.2 mile trail with plenty of opportunities to experience the magic of Halloween. Costumes are highly encouraged, practically required! I mean, we'll be wearing ours… We will have several trick or treat stations along the course stationed with costumed volunteers and most importantly, candy! And don’t worry, you don’t have to run, but as night falls, things may only get stranger…. Just kidding… Or am I?
Seriously though, the Fun Run will start at 630PM, just as the sun starts to set, aka dusk. Most walkers can complete this loop easily under an hour and should be done before full dark (7:30PM). We still encourage guests to bring a flashlight, headlamp, old-timey oil lantern, or a lit torch if you’re concerned about the dark. Ok, maybe not a real torch, but you get the point. Strollers are allowed but we will have to discourage any type of bicycles, scooters, or motorized devices unless medically necessary as there will be other runners on the course as well as the general public. Please remember to always be aware of others using the trail and keep to the right when others need to pass.
The fun run will not be timed. Instead, every participant will get a glow-in-the-dark wrist band when you check in, so that our volunteers will know who is participating in the event. We’ll also have a special treat bag available for the kids, or they can bring their own!
Did we mention costumes? Oh yeah, it wouldn’t be a Halloween event without a costume contest! The top two best costumes (as judged by TEAM SUMMIT(and we know our stuff when it comes to costumes)) will get acknowledged AND the overall BEST costume will receive tickets to a Falcons game, courtesy of our friends with the Falcons organization.
Spectators and family are allowed in the start/finish area but everyone on the course must be registered for the event.
PERC Coffee will be brewed on site for all participants, spectators, and crew!

Proceeds from both runs will benefit the SES and Bear Creek Middle School Running Clubs. The running club at SES is for 4th and 5th graders and the earnings will go to much needed running clothes and apparel for the students. The running club at BCMS includes 6th, 7th and 8th graders. They are also in need of clothes and apparel as well as track and field equipment. Both clubs promote a healthy lifestyle and a source of self-confidence and accomplishment for the students.

Join the fight against diabetes and make a real difference in Georgia!
The Diabetes You Can Win Foundation, a proud Georgia-based non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, invites you to our 7th Annual 5K
Walk for Diabetes, presented in collaboration with our valued partner, Live Healthy Gwinnett! This family-friendly event, taking place at Tribble Mill Park in Lawrenceville, GA, promises a day filled with educational resources, free health screenings, and plenty of fun for all ages.
Why is this walk so important? The statistics are stark: Approximately 1 million people in Georgia have been diagnosed with diabetes, and a staggering 230,000 more are living with it undiagnosed, significantly increasing their health risks. An additional 2.6 million Georgians have pre-diabetes, a condition that can often be prevented from progressing to diabetes with proper lifestyle changes. These numbers highlight a critical need for awareness, education, and access to resources right here in our communities.
Your participation directly supports the vital work of the Diabetes You Can Win Foundation. We provide free health screenings, comprehensive diabetes and nutrition education classes, diabetes prevention programs, gestational diabetes education, and essential diabetic supplies to at-risk and under-resourced communities across Georgia. Every step you take and every dollar raised stays right here in Georgia, empowering our neighbors with the tools and knowledge to lead healthier lives.
Come together with your family and friends to walk for a cause that touches so many lives. Learn more, get screened, and have a fantastic day while making a tangible impact on the health of our state.
Lace up your shoes and register today for the 7th Annual 5K Walk for Diabetes!

Race Day Packet Pickup
Due to the size of the race we are requesting runners to pick up packets ( race number - shirt - giveaway ) at one of our 3 convenient locations on the 23rd, 24th and 25th. Runners can pick up multiple packets for friends and family. The size of the race of 4000+ runners and items to be given will make a race day packet pick up impossible for our volunteers and runners so we are making a mandatory early pick up so that race day will go smoothly for all. We do have 2 options for those that can not make that happen - 1) You can have your race number mailed to you 2 weeks before the race ($10) your bib will be mailed to your house and you will pick up your shirt and gift on race day 2) Race day pick up charge ($10) This can be added during sign up
WHAT YOU NEED TO PICK UP YOUR BIB
Please print and bring your registration confirmation to packet pick up. You can also have this on your phone and even in your apple wallet which will make it eary to find at check in !! At the top of your registration email there is a icon " ADD TO APPLE WALLET" BUT if you are picking up for multiple people it will be easier to have printed registrations for each person or have all in your Apple Wallet. It is important to have the barcode visible that is on your registration as this is how we will check you in. Your registration confirmation was emailed to you after you signed up with the title of the email "Running of the Turkeys 5k Registration Confirmation" that was sent to you by RUNSIGNUP ..if you can not locate this you can have it resent to you simply by logging into WWW.RUNSIGNUP.COM and choosing my profile where you will see your current races.

EquiSol Race Series (A Park for All Seasons) - Winter Solstice 5k
Welcome to the new race series in 2026 benefitting the Gwinnett Parks Foundation.
This race is the 4th of 4 races in the series with
one in each quarter falling on or close to the Equinox or Solstice. Each medal will magnetically link together to create a large medal map of Gwinnett County and its parks so do miss out to run all 4 races. (if you do happen to miss one and we have left over medals, we will open up a virtual option for you to run and receive your missing medal to create you full larger medal)
Due to having to order the medals early for all 4 events, the first 200 runners will receive medals on site. If we have additional runners we will order more and have them shipped to you (or you can pick up when ready)
Also you will receive a $20 refund if you refer 5 others.
Performance Race Services and the Gwinnett Park Foundation have teamed up to give you the opportunity to explore 4 of the many parks that Gwinnett has to offer.
The Gwinnett Parks Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to assist the needs, whether volunteer labor, or monetary, of Gwinnett Parks & Recreation. The foundation was organized in 2001 to improve the quality of life for all of its citizens by working in cooperation with Gwinnett County Parks & Recreation, private citizens, businesses, foundations, and the Gwinnett County government.

The Mount Yonah Vertical Race
“Without mountains, we might find ourselves relieved that we can avoid the pain of the ascent, but we will forever miss the thrill of the summit. And in such a terribly
scandalous trade-off, it is the absence of pain that becomes the thief of life.” —Craig D. Lounsbrough

The Course
The race course follows the Yonah Mountain hiking trail up to the summit of the mountain. From there you will pass the overlook before returning down the mountain. The trail is runnable in some sections, rocky and rooty in others, and a few spots require scrambling over boulders. The race will start with a quick out and back on the gravel road leading to the trail-head, this is so runners will thin out before hitting the trail. Each time you return from your summit, you will repeat the same out and back, this is necessary to achieve the distance and vert advertised. You may encounter hikers on the course, so use caution and be courteous.

-All participants should have a waterproof shell or jacket with them at all times.
-Adequate footwear - the trail is rocky, rooty, wet, muddy, icy, and everything in between. Be prepared.
*This is a mountain race that takes participants up and over 3000' above sea-level. The weather at the summit can feel drastically different from the trailhead. Do not leave the trail-head without the required gear on you at all times. There is no rescue or bail-out point near the summit, except by helicopter.
AID
A full aid station will be provided at the main trailhead, featuring Precision Fuel carb/electrolyte mix(60g of carb/1,000mg of sodium), along with everything else you’d expect including hot food, as well as GF and plant-based options. You will pass this after every loop (roughly every five miles).
There will be a water stop on course near the summit, you will pass it shortly before the summit and again on your way down. Volunteers will be at the mountain-top as well with emergency supplies as-needed, but only for emergencies.
CREWING
Due to limited space at the trailhead, personal pop-up tents/tables are not allowed. If needed, you may use your vehicle for a personal aid setup, being mindful of others visiting the park or participating in the event. Reminder that you will pass through the whole length of the parking area during each repeat.
Sorry, no pacers or crew allowed on the trail with participants.
WEATHER
Our team closely monitors the weather during race weekend and leading up to it for any adverse conditions. The Yonah Mountain Vertical Challenge will be run "rain or shine", but could potentially be delayed or cancelled depending on the severity of any storms and with guidance from the USFS. Your safety and the safety of our crew and volunteers will always be our priority. If storms are expected, keep an eye on your email and our socials for any updates.
