Boo Ridge 5k

Boo Ridge 5K & Fun Runs takes place in Hillsville, Virginia, on a Halloween-themed course decorated by Carroll County Special Olympics volunteers. The event offers multiple distances—the Boo Ridge 5K, a Monster Mile, a Little Goblin Half Mile, and a Ghost Walk—making it suitable for runners, families, and walkers. The course starts by looping around the school and then follows an old cross-country trail through wooded areas, described as challenging but accessible to a wide range of ages (participants as young as six have run the 5K).

It’s a fundraiser for Carroll County Special Olympics, with proceeds benefiting Special Olympics Virginia. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
