Description
The Very Scary 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run will start from The Abbey in Townsend, and will feature the scariest swag in the history of Very Scary 5Ks!

-
Large baton glow stick
-
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 branded race bag
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!
Sign up early to get your preferred shirt size! We'll be printing shirts a week before the race, and if you sign up late your size might be all gone.
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.
Post-race Concert by the Foo Frighters!
After you've crossed the finish line at the Very Scary 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run in Townsend, TN, get ready to rock out with the Foo Frighters! Join us Friday, October 18th at The Abbey Townsend for an epic post-race concert featuring the ultimate tribute to the Foo Fighters! Whether you're running or just coming for the tunes, this is a night you won’t want to miss! Race, then rock! Music starts right after the race.
Costume Contest
Runners and volunteers (kids and adults), it's costume contest time! Show up and show out in your best Halloween costume. We will start the costume contest 1 hour before race start, promptly at 7pm -- awards will be presented for the top costumes! Awards will go to top kids and top adult costumes... and maybe the whole family! 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!! There may even be a bigfoot sighting...
