The Apex Halloween Hustle 5k begins at the City Rec Department on Lumpkin Drive in Carrollton, Georgia. A kids’ Minion’s Mile takes place before the 5k. The 3.1-mile Halloween run has approximately 250 feet of total elevation, making it manageable for newer runners while still offering a challenge for experienced participants. The route travels from the City Rec Department through wooded areas, past Castle Playground and the East Carrollton soccer fields, to a turnaround at the Log Cabin. The event incorporates Halloween elements with decorations, music, fog machines, a costume contest, complimentary cotton candy, and complimentary popcorn. The format accommodates runners, walkers, step counters, children, first-time 5k participants, and faster athletes. The course provides park benches and hydration stations for breaks.

Wobble Before You Gobble is a Thanksgiving Day 5K run/walk in Bremen, Georgia, starting at 8:00 AM from 1135 Pacific Avenue. It is a chip-timed race, built for families as much as for runners: walkers, stroller-pushers, and pets are welcome. All proceeds help Haralson County children in need, giving the morning a clear local purpose before the holiday meal. Finishers receive a participation medal, and early registrants get a commemorative shirt picked up after the race; race-day registration is available by QR code with card payment only, though late sign-ups are not guaranteed a shirt.

The Berry Half/10K/5K takes place in early March on Berry College’s 27,000-acre campus in Rome, Georgia. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, 5K, or Kids Fun Run, making the event suitable for seasoned runners, families, and newcomers. The campus itself is a key attraction: Berry is noted as the world’s largest campus, featuring extensive woodlands, historic academic structures, open fields, and over 1,200 deer. The race routes are contained within Berry College, beginning and ending at the Mount Berry campus along Martha Berry Highway. This race series serves as the main fundraising effort for Berry College Elementary & Middle School, supporting facility and technology improvements, curriculum development, and scholarships. This school affiliation is evident on race day through the numerous volunteers assisting with packet preparation, runner registration, aid stations, course monitoring, traffic direction, refreshment provision, and medal distribution. The event has been held for almost twenty years, recording over 22,500 finishers and more than 107,000 race miles accumulated throughout its history.
