Join us for Atlanta's best Halloween-time fun run. Whether you are a Vampire, Werewolf, Witch, Hunter, or even just plain-old human, you can help us take a bite out of blood cancers by taking part in our annual Vampire Run.
The race starts and finishes at Legion Field located at 3173 Mill Street, Covington Ga 30014
You can crawl, walk, or run! Either way, you will be helping us raise money for Blood Cancer United (formerly known as The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society) by participating in our event.
Is there a better place to have a Halloween Run than in Covington, Georgia, a.k.a. Mystic Falls - the fictional town that is home to The Vampire Diaries The Originals, Legacies, Goosebumps, Rob Zombie's Halloween movie, Dr. Sleep, and others? The run will be live in Covington. BUT, we host a VIRTUAL version as well (known as Spirit Runners) so you can participate from anywhere during the month of October. Spirit runners will receive a bib, medal, and finisher shirt.
The live event will go through and by many of the famous filming locations from the popular TV series as well as other horror shows and films that have been filmed here. Whether you participate live or virtually as a spirit, you will receive a bib, medal, and finisher shirt!

For Runners and Walkers
This is a certified, timed run that is a Peachtree Road Race qualifier. The route is fun and flat so you can get a good time! Plus, it's Fall so the weather is typically amazing.
For fans and Halloween lovers
Our route is essentially a movie and TV show filming walking tour wrapped inside of a 5k. We mark the route with over 20 photo spots, including volunteers to take your photos. Ask others who have participated, we have a LOT of surprises on the course. You can walk or run from photo spot to photo spot. (You may even see some well-known spooky guests during the race)
Schedule TBD
