Boo Run 5K

Boo Run 5K takes place in Flowery Branch, Georgia, on October 31, 2026. The schedule is straightforward: one 5K run/walk starting at 9:00 a.m. on Halloween morning, open to runners and walkers alike.

The 5K is the most approachable race distance there is: 3.1 miles, done in roughly 20 to 45 minutes for most people, and forgiving enough that you can walk stretches of it without ruining your day. For a first one, six weeks of easy running three or four days a week will get you to the line comfortably. If you are chasing a personal best instead, a weekly interval workout such as six times three minutes hard with equal jogging recovery, plus one longer run of 45 to 60 minutes, sharpens you over the same stretch. Arrive early enough to warm up and to sort out your costume before the start.
