Ready to lace up your running shoes for a cause? Join us for the 7th Annual Vampire Run: Spellbound on Saturday, October 24, 2026, and help us take a bite out of blood cancer. This 5k run/walk event was created in loving memory of my parents, and all net proceeds go directly to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner or prefer a leisurely stroll, this event is perfect for you. Our course is a USATF certified 5k and a Northside Hospital Peachtree Road Race qualifying race, so you can aim for a personal best on our flat, fast route.

The Live Event in Mystic Falls (Covington, GA)

 Come to Covington, Georgia, a.k.a. "Mystic Falls," and run through the famous filming locations from The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, and other spooky shows and films. We've got over 20 photo spots along the route, with volunteers ready to snap your picture. You might even spot a surprise guest or two! The weather in October is usually perfect for a run, and we promise a fun time for everyone—whether you come dressed as a Vampire, Werewolf, Witch, or just a human.

The Virtual Event: 5K in Spirit

 Can't make it to Covington? No problem! You can still participate as a Spirit Runner from anywhere in the world between October 1 and October 25, 2025. You’ll be helping raise money for a great cause from the comfort of your own neighborhood.
