About the Creve Coeur Haunted Hustle 5k
The course runs through Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park, so there is water in view for much of the route. The Halloween theme is baked into the race itself, not just the finish area: costumed characters, jump scares, and roaming monsters are stationed along the way, which keeps things lively even if you are running alone.
After crossing the finish, the park stays busy with live music, Halloween games, photo opportunities, and trick-or-treat stations for kids. There are food and drink vendors on site, and a costume contest with awards runs alongside the standard age-group results.
