About the Spooky Spirits 5K
The course starts and finishes at Suwanee Town Center Park, a central spot that makes the post-race hangout easy. Runners can opt for straight-through timing or pause at cocktail stations along the route, each poured with a different themed drink. Costume prizes go to the best individual and group looks, and vendors set up at the finish.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local running store in Suwanee Town Center, with race-morning pickup available at the park under the Suwanee Magazine tent. Bring your ID either way, as it is required at check-in and for wristbanding.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Spooky Spirits 5K has been held every year since at least 2021. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
