Beyond The Grave 5K

Saturday, October 24, 2026Lake Mary, FL100 Yards – 5K

The Beyond The Grave 5K is a thrilling, Halloween-themed event that invites runners to navigate the eerie paths of a historic cemetery under the cover of darkness. Participants are encouraged to embrace the spooky atmosphere with costumes, with awards given for the most creative, scariest, and best group ensembles. Every runner receives a complimentary headband flashlight to safely illuminate the shadowy trails, along with a custom-themed shirt and a unique gravestone-and-zombie finisher medal. The event offers a 3.1-mile 'Double Grave Dare' and a 1.8-mile 'Spirit Sprint,' plus a free 100-yard 'Zombie Shuffle' for children. Beyond the chills, the race serves a noble purpose by supporting the Rotary Club of Seminole County Sunset Scholarship Fund. It is a community-focused adventure that blends festive fun with a commitment to empowering local students.
