Alger Heights Halloween 5K

Alger Heights Halloween 5k is a volunteer-led, neighborhood-focused 5k fun run held in Grand Rapids, Michigan (49507), with the starting line at 2404 Eastern Ave SE. The race traverses the scenic Alger Heights streets during peak fall colors, and for 2025 the course has been slightly altered to dial in mileage. Participants are chip-timed by the Michigan Running Foundation, and finishers receive a medal and a sponsor swag bag.

The event doubles as a community gathering with a Community Costume Contest open to all (no registration required) and a photo booth, plus post-race activities. Proceeds support the Alger Heights Business Association and local neighborhood initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
