Trek or Treat

Douglasville, GA

Registration openAnnual since at least 2021

About the Trek or Treat

The course runs through Boundary Waters Park and holds USATF certification, which also makes it an official Peachtree Road Race qualifier. The route is on road, so expect a firm, even surface. The race is organized around Domestic Violence Awareness Month, with proceeds going to local support organizations including a shelter and a wellness center in the area.

Packet pickup opens before the start, and the morning includes festivities alongside the run itself. The District Attorney's office and several community partners are behind the event, so there is an official presence at the start area that gives the morning a civic, purposeful feel.

Common Questions About the Trek or Treat

Will I finish last at the Trek or Treat?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 51:19, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:11:19, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Trek or Treat a good first 5K?

It is a small race (105 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Trek or Treat?

The 5K winner ran 22:41 while the median finisher took 51:19. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
