Mercer PA Creepy Crawly 5K
The Mercer PA Creepy Crawly 5K is the 15th annual run presented by Mercer University's Physician Assistant Studies Program. The event takes place on October 24, 2026 at Mercer University in Atlanta, GA, and benefits Grace Village Medical Clinic.
The event is a trail run and walk open to all ages. The route uses compact gravel, concrete, and wooded trail surfaces. The trail does not permit strollers and may be difficult for some participants. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Costumes are encouraged. Prizes are awarded to top runners and for best costume. A route map is available.
Registration fees are listed as follows: a $35 online registration fee with a commemorative shirt included if registered before October 1, 2026; day of registration is available without the commemorative shirt; a $30 registration fee applies for seniors 65 and older; children 10 and under may run free, without a T shirt.
Grace Village Medical Clinic is described as providing quality, wholistic healthcare to people who could not otherwise afford it, offering medical treatment and prescriptions to those in need. The Mercer PA program frames the event as both a fundraising effort for the clinic and an opportunity for community engagement by the PA class.
