The Wild Rumpus.   Run the Classic City your way!

The Wild Rumpus is an annual Halloween parade and spectacle in Athens, GA that champions creativity, community, and self-expression. New for 2025, the lululemon Classic City Marathon, Athena Half Marathon, and Marathon Relay now include the chance to run as a Wild Rumpus Runner! 

Wild Rumpus Runners might run in imaginative costumes or while engaging in some dynamic performance. If running another marathon is starting to feel stale, can you do it while juggling or with a pineapple on your head? Or get serious and try to beat a Guinness World Record.

The registration link will ask about your plans, if you choose to register as a Wild Rumpus Runner. Keep it safe, keep it fun, and Run the Classic City your way!
