Creepy Crawly 5k w/ Mercer University PA Program

Creepy Crawly 5k w/ Mercer University PA Program is held in Atlanta, Georgia on October 24, 2026. There is one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:00 a.m., hosted by the physician assistant program at Mercer University.

Halloween-week timing and a university program behind the organizing usually mean a relaxed field, which is exactly what you want if you are easing back into racing or trying the distance for the first time. Experienced runners can still get value out of it by racing honestly: 3.1 miles at threshold-plus effort is a genuine workout and a useful read on where your fitness sits heading into winter. Two easy days before and one easy day after is all the taper and recovery a 5K needs.
