Haunted Halloween Hustle

Race Event

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

• Monster Mile
• Frightening 5K (run or walk)
• Terrible 10K run
• Haunted Half Marathon

Location

The race is based out of the Abshire Park in Goshen, Indiana. The courses are all on the fantastic, scenic and paved Pumpkinvine trail which is 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!

• Protected Path: The path is completely protected from traffic, with police and volunteers at cross roads.
• Encouragement: You will always have people around you to encourage you.
• Restrooms: Several porta potties along the way, which is always nice, especially on the longer distances.
• Local Gem: If you have never been on the Pumpkinvine Path, it is a local gem!

Awards

All participants get a finisher medal, 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 finisher medal with a custom lanyard.

• Costume Awards: Awards in 8 categories. We encourage everyone to dress up!
• Categories: Cutest Costume, Best duo/group, Most creative, Best homemade, Most spooky/creepy, Funny/silly, Storybook/fairy tale, Superhero/villain.
• Sign Up: Sign up for the costume awards when you arrive at Abshire.
• Monster Mash Parade: We usually do a Monster Mash parade just so everyone can see all the costumes!

FUNdraiser

This race benefits the same families as in the past, who have special needs. Community 321 is the new organization that has purchased a group home for young adults to live and work. More about this at the race.

Not a Runner?

First, you can ALWAYS walk at any of our events! OR, if that doesn't appeal to you, we always need active spectators to cheer on the runners, hand out water, watch for traffic, etc. Please let us know if you are available to help out!
