Everything but the shoes.
Real running socks, a bib belt, anti-chafe — the cheap upgrades that matter.
About this race
Get ready to run, walk, laugh, and get a little spooky at the inaugural Halloween Hustle 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at Smyrna High School!
We’re taking over Halloween morning with 3.1 miles of costumes, community, and a cause worth showing up for. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, walking with friends and family, or simply looking for a ridiculously fun way to start Halloween, the Halloween Hustle is for you.
👻 Costumes are strongly encouraged!
Come as a ghost, superhero, witch, monster, movie character—or show up exactly as you are. This isn’t just a race for serious runners. Runners, walkers, families, first-timers, and every pace in between are welcome.
And behind all the Halloween fun is a mission that matters.
💗 This is a Compass Point Charity Foundation event with all proceeds benefiting the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, supporting its work in our Delaware communities and those whose lives have been impacted by breast cancer.
This race was built around a simple message:
WE'VE "GOTT" YOUR BACK.
It represents what this morning is really about—showing up for one another, standing behind those fighting breast cancer, celebrating survivors, remembering those we've lost, and proving what can happen when a community comes together.
GOTT isn't a spelling error... it is honoring the person who envisioned the Halloween Hustle 5K. With proceeds benefiting the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, she hopes that through advancements and technology, one day there will be no need for the Halloween Hustle 5K! Until that day, Tabitha "Tabi" Gott, a person who has already impacted so many lives, now endeavors to assist others like her in fighting and beating breast cancer, wrapping them in a committed caring community. Tabi partnered with the Compass Point Charity Foundation to organize, develop, and implement the Halloween Hustle 5k!
