LBI Halloween Hustle 5K Fundraiser

Two Great LBI "Halloweekend!" Events!  

LBI Halloween Hustle 5K Run/Walk Fundraiser   and Little Monsters Dash for kids Fundraiser.

Get ready to run, walk, and have a scary good time at the LBI Halloween Hustle 5K & Little Monsters Dash Fundraiser benefiting the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company #1 and EMS 

Join us on Sunday, October 25, 2026, for the inaugural LBI Halloween Hustle 5K, featuring a fast, flat course through beautiful Surf City, NJ. The race will start and finish on the 100 block of N. 7th Street, near the Surf City Volunteer Fire Company. The 5K will begin at 8:30 a.m.

The course has an official USATF 5K certification, making this a great addition to the fall race calendar for seasoned runners, first-time 5K participants, walkers, and everyone in between.

Costumes are not required for the LBI Halloween Hustle 5K, but they are highly encouraged! Break out your favorite Halloween attire and take on the course in spooky style. A costume contest will add even more fun to the festivities, so get creative!

The Little Monsters Dash is a short sprint designed for younger runners, but participants of all ages are welcome to join the fun. Costumes are encouraged but not required, and ribbons will be presented to all little monsters who participate. The Little Monsters Dash will begin after the 5K awards presentation, with the start expected at approximately 9:45 a.m.

Please note: This is a family-friendly event. All costumes should be appropriate for participants and spectators of all ages.

Whether you’re racing for a fast time, walking with family and friends, cheering on the little monsters, or simply coming out to celebrate “Halloweekend” in Surf City, we hope you’ll join us for the inaugural LBI Halloween Hustle 5K & Little Monsters Dash and help make this a new Long Beach Island fall tradition!
