Haunted Halloween Hustle

👻 Haunted Halloween Hustle

Come join us for the Haunted Halloween Hustle! We have a distance for everyone!

• Monster Mile: A fun and friendly distance for all ages.
• Frightening 5K: You can choose to run or walk this distance.
• Terrible 10K: A challenging run for those seeking a bit more.
• Haunted Half Marathon: For the seasoned runners looking for a longer challenge.

🏞️ Race Location and Course

The race is based out of the lovely Abshire Park in Goshen, Indiana. The courses are all on the fantastic, scenic Pumpkinvine trail largely ensconced by old trees. All distances are out and back so there is absolutely no way to miss a turn, get lost or lose your mates! Just get into your zone, forget about your cares and count down the miles!

• Encouragement: You will always have people around you to encourage you and get you to the finish line!
• Safety: The path is completely protected from traffic, except at a few cross roads where we will have police and volunteers to keep you safe.
• Facilities: There are also several porta potties along the way, which is always nice- especially on the longer distances.
• Local Gem: If you have never been on this trail, it is a local gem. We are so lucky to have access to this fabulous path in our area!

🏅 Awards

All participants get a custom finisher medal with the new logo, with your distance on the lanyard. Overall Top Three MF and Age group awards in the 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. The Mile is not timed, but you will get a custom finisher medal.

🎭 Costume Contest

We encourage everyone to dress up - and participate in the costume contest! We will have special awards in 10 categories (it's way too difficult to pick The Best) including best homemade, best super hero, and more. You will sign up when you get there (to make sure we get a photo and you won't be missed) and when you get back from your run, you can see if you won!

🆕 New in 2025

• Shirts: Shirts are optional and an additional cost of $15. We do order extra shirts, but you need to sign up by October 10 to guarantee your size and availability.
• Dawn Patrol: For those wanting more time to complete the distance, we are offering "Dawn Patrol" which will begin at 8:00 am. You must be checked in by 7:45 am on race day.

🥨 Refreshments

Ben's Pretzels will have the Pretzel wagon, hot cocoa, coffee, cookies and so much more will be waiting for you at the finish line. We do have great chow at the finish!
