Haunted Halloween Hustle
The Haunted Halloween Hustle takes place on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at Abshire Park, 1302 East Lincoln Avenue, Goshen, IN. The event offers multiple distances on the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail, an out-and-back course that runs along a tree-lined recreational path with a few road crossings controlled by police or volunteers.
- Monster Mile
- Frightening 5K
- Terrible 10K
- Haunted Half Marathon
All proceeds benefit the Elkhart County Down Syndrome Support Group. The race uses out-and-back courses that make the route easy to follow and provides porta potties along the trail.
Course details, awards and logistics
All paid participants receive a custom finisher medal with the distance shown on the lanyard. The 5K, 10K and half marathon include overall top-three awards and age-group prizes in standard age divisions. The Monster Mile is not timed but does receive a finisher medal. Costume awards are given in ten categories; entrants sign up at the judges station so photos and entries are recorded.
Shirts are optional for 2025 and cost an additional $15; ordering by October 10 guarantees size availability. A "Dawn Patrol" group-start option is available for participants who need more time to complete a distance and must be indicated during signup or at check-in. There is no runner parking at Abshire Park; nearby churches, businesses and a small park provide parking and volunteers will direct drivers. Dogs may run if trained, vaccinated, comfortable in crowds, and registered at packet pickup for a free bandana. Ben’s Pretzels will provide refreshments at the finish.
