Boo Run 5K

About the Event

This year's 27th Annual 5K BOO RUN on October 31st is a great way for family and friends to enjoy the beautiful and ever-changing landscape of Flowery Branch, Georgia. Feel free to join other runners in Halloween costumes or come as you are and be a part of one of the best 5K runs in Northeast Georgia. This run is an official Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race Qualifying Event (Course Certification #GA23005DJ). Our event has continued to grow over the years, and we are now faced with capacity issues. We have been forced to place a cap on the number of runners for this event in our small town at 1000. The Registration fee will be $35 and all who sign up by midnight on October 1st will be guaranteed an event shirt. Those registering after this date will receive a shirt while supplies last!
