Hoschton, Georgia (United States of America) - "Thriller Lake - 12, 6, 3 Hour and Trick or Treat Fun Run". Thriller Lake returns in 2025 on October 25! The Thriller Lake Endurance Run is a 12, 6, and 3 hour timed loop event on the 2.2 mile loop around Miller Lake at Little Mulberry Park in Gwinnett County, GA. The Trick or Treat Fun Run is for kids and adults of all ages looking for a trick-or-treat experience in a fun, safe, and positive community setting. Participants will complete one loop of the Miller Lake paved 2.2 mile trail with plenty of opportunities to experience the magic of Halloween. Costumes are highly encouraged—practically required! We'll be wearing ours. We will have several trick-or-treat stations along the course, staffed by costumed volunteers and, most importantly, stocked with candy! And don’t worry, you don’t have to run, but as night falls, things may only get stranger... Just kidding. Or am I? Seriously though, the Fun Run will start at 6:30PM, just as the sun starts to set—aka dusk. Most walkers can complete this loop easily in under an hour and should finish before full dark around 7:30PM. We still encourage guests to bring a flashlight, headlamp, old-timey oil lantern, or a lit torch if you’re concerned about the dark (okay, maybe not a real torch, but you get the point). Strollers are allowed, but we will have to discourage any type of bicycles, scooters, or motorized devices unless medically necessary, as there will be other runners on the course as well as the general public. Please remember to always be aware of others using the trail and keep to the right when others need to pass. The fun run will not be timed. Instead, every participant will get a glow-in-the-dark wristband when checking in so our volunteers will know who is participating in the event. We’ll also have a special treat bag available for the kids, or they can bring their own! Did we mention costumes? Oh yeah, it wouldn’t be a Halloween event without a costume contest! The top two best costumes (as judged by Team Summit—and we know our stuff when it comes to costumes) will be acknowledged, and the overall best costume will receive tickets to a Falcons game, courtesy of our friends with the Falcons organization. Prize packs for overall winners from HOKA, Precision Fuel, PERC Coffee, Classic City Running, and Ka'Chava. PERC Coffee will be brewed on site for all participants, spectators, and crew! www.summitrunco.com/thrillerlake
