Welcome to Vampire Run 2025 - Season 6

Bad Blood

This 5k run/walk event was created in 2020 and continues in loving memory of my mom and dad, who are no longer with us due to cancer. All net proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

In-Person - Saturday, October 25, 2025

Virtual - October 1 thru October 25, 2025

We are a USATF certified 5k and a Peachtree Road Race Qualifier!

It's not just a run. It's an event!

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.

You can crawl, walk, or run! Either way, you will be helping us raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society by participating in our event.

Is there a better place to have a Vampire Run than in Covington, Georgia, a.k.a. Mystic Falls - the fictional town that is home to The Vampire Diaries The Originals, and Legacies? The run will be live in Covington. We will host a VIRTUAL version as well so you can participate from anywhere during the month of October.

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, you will receive a bib, medal, and finisher shirt!

There is something for everyone!

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 Vampire Diaries walking tour wrapped inside of a 5k. We mark the route with over 15 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.
