About the 5K Halloween Hustle
The course runs through Mulberry Rock Park, a green space with gently rolling terrain. Paved paths make up most of the route, but there are stretches of gravel mixed in, so the footing shifts a bit as you go. The race benefits a local education foundation, and that purpose is front and center in how the event is framed.
Packet pickup is the day before at the Paulding Board of Education office. On race day, parking is inside the park itself, which keeps the morning straightforward. Awards go deep into age groups, so competitive runners have plenty to race for.
