The Very Scary 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run will start from the Townsend Abbey (7765 River Rd, Townsend, TN 37882) and will feature the scariest swag in the history of Very Scary 5Ks!
Race, run, walk, or zombie crawl 5K (that’s 3.1 long miles if you’re a zombie) and take home:

➡️ Glowsticks
➡️ Scary medal (but you gotta’ cross that finish line!)
➡️ Killer lanyard attached to that scary medal (if the zombies don’t get you!)
➡️ Spine-chilling long sleeve t-shirt (relaxed fit, crazy comfy!)
➡️ Bloodcurdling decal
➡️ A custom headlamp to keep you safe in the scary darkness!

The 5K & 1 mile runs start at 8:00 pm ET, with full support along the way and a guaranteed good time. You might even (OK you almost certainly will!) experience a scary sighting along the course!

Due to insurance regulations we can’t have pets, strollers, wagons, roller skates, skateboards, scooters, parachute pants, or Members Only jackets on-course. But we can have costumes!

Show up and show out in your best Halloween costume. We will start the costume contest 1 hour before race start, promptly at 7:00 pm. Awards will be presented for the top costumes.

It’s completely up to you if you want to run the race scary style — but we completely encourage running in costume. We can’t wait to see what you come up with…. so, bring it!!

Stick around at the Townsend Abbey after the race for a movie (weather permitting). Bring your own chair, blanket, and settle in for some scary fun!
