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.
