5K Run/Walk @ 8:00 am: Trek or Treat will be held at Bass Pro Shops in Macon.  The 5K begins at 8:00 am. Courses are chip timed and all results will be handled by Event Tech Timing. The 5K is a lovely, scenic route that leaves Bass Pro and continues up New Forsyth Rd. into Monroe county and returns to Bass Pro.  We welcome runners of all stages, walkers, strollers and leashed dogs onto the course. We do ask that those walking or running with strollers remain toward the rear of the participants. 

*Please NOTE: ALL participants on the 5K course MUST register and pay the $30 registration fee. This includes all children who are participating. Those riding in strollers are exempt from registration fees. Children under age 13 only need to pay ONE registration fee! Their $30 entry fee covers their participation in the 5K as well as the Candy Mile.
