About the Haunted Halloween Hustle

The course runs on the Pumpkinvine trail, a paved path lined with old trees and completely separated from traffic except at a handful of crossroads, where police and volunteers are posted. Every distance goes out and back on the same trail, so there are no turns to miss and no navigation to think about. The surface is smooth and the tree cover makes it feel tucked away.

Packet pickup happens on a couple of evenings before the race, including one at a running store in Mishawaka and one at the Abshire Park pavilion, with race-morning pickup available there as well. There is no participant parking at the park itself; a local Boy Scout troop directs runners to nearby businesses along Lincoln Avenue instead. At the finish, expect pretzels, hot cocoa, soup, coffee, cookies, and fruit.

The Haunted Halloween Hustle has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.

Common Questions About the Haunted Halloween Hustle

Will I finish last at the Haunted Halloween Hustle?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:47, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:08:17, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Haunted Halloween Hustle a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 229 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Haunted Halloween Hustle?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:52 while the median finisher took 34:47. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
