Haunted Halloween Hustle

About the Event

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

The race is based out of the lovely Abshire Park in Goshen, Indiana. The courses are all on the fantastic, scenic 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!

You will always have people around you to encourage you and get you to the finish line! The path is completely protected from traffic, except at a few cross roads where we will have police and volunteers to keep you safe. There are also several porta potties along the way, which is always nice- especially on the longer distances. 

If you have never been on the Pumpkinvine Path, it is a local gem! We are so lucky to have access to this fabulous path in our area! We welcome back all of our past participants!  

Getting to the Start Line. Lincoln Avenue is under Construction now, impassable, so you will be rerouted via Wilden-> Steury Road or from the East.  It's not a big deal, but good to know in advance. Everyone will need to park and walk a bit , so just allow about 15 minutes for that.

Awards All participants get a  finisher medal, Overall Top Three MF and Age group awards in the 5K, 10K and Half Marathon. New this year, we will have Overal awards for the Grand Masters in each distance. The Mile is not timed, but you will get a finisher medal.

Costume awards in 8 categories. We encourage everyone to dress up - and participate in the costume contest! 

Cutest Costume
Best duo/group
Most creative
Best homemade
Most spooky/creepy
Funny/silly
Storybook/fairy tale
Superhero/villain

Sign up for the costume awards when you arrive at Abshire (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! We usually do a Monster Mash parade just so everyone can see all the costumes!  Makes it fun! 

NEW IN 2025

         The awards ceremony times will not change.
