2026 BOUNCE ROCK SKATE ROLL 5K RUN/WALK AND GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT FOR THE WORLD'S LARGEST THRILLER DANCE
TWO MAJOR EVENTS. ONE HISTORIC ATLANTA CELEBRATION!
RUN THE 5K. ROLL WITH ATLANTA. DANCE INTO HISTORY!
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, BOUNCE ROCK SKATE ROLL 5K RUN/WALK (BOUNCE ROCK) AND HAPPY THRILLERWEEN will bring together thousands of participants at B.T. Harvey Stadium at Morehouse College for an extraordinary celebration of fitness, music, dance, health, and community, featuring two major attractions.
The 2026 BOUNCE ROCK SKATE ROLL 5K RUN/WALK is an exciting, inclusive 3.1-mile fitness experience welcoming runners, walkers, roller skaters, bicyclists, and wheelchair/adaptive athletes. Participants of different ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels can come together to celebrate health, physical activity, and personal achievement.
The GUINNESS WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT FOR THE WORLD'S LARGEST THRILLER DANCE is an ambitious effort to unite thousands of dancers in a synchronized performance inspired by Michael Jackson's legendary Thriller. Atlanta will attempt to surpass the existing world record of 13,597 participants, established in Mexico City, Mexico, in 2009.
Together, these signature experiences create a unique opportunity to participate in a 5K, become part of a historic world record attempt, or enjoy both!
MORE THAN A RACE. MORE THAN A DANCE.
The celebration also features:
Healthcare Reimagined Health Fair — Health education, wellness resources, and community healthcare engagement.
Happy Thrillerween Halloween Festival — Trick-or-treat candy, DJs, music, costumes, line dancing, competitions, and family entertainment.
Corporate Village and Community Marketplace — Corporate sponsors, exhibitors, food and beverage vendors, and community organizations.
Community Engagement and Cancer Research Awareness — Supporting health and community initiatives in partnership with the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation, founded by Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green.
BOUNCE ROCK's mission is to ENGAGE, ENLIGHTEN, EMPOWER, and ENTERTAIN while bringing together Atlanta's HBCUs, fraternities, sororities, schools, churches, families, businesses, and community organizations.
