About the Haunted Hustle 5k & Monster Mile

The course runs out and back on a paved trail through ITC Community Sports Park, so the footing is smooth the whole way. The park sits at a corner where two major roads meet, and the pavilion there serves as the start and finish. There is a shorter distance for younger runners and families, and strollers and wagons are welcome on both routes.

Packet pickup happens race morning at the pavilion, right at the start line, so there is no separate trip the day before. Parking is available on site, and a playground sits close to the finish area. Restrooms are in the pavilion.

Finish-Time Stats

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

Common Questions About the Haunted Hustle 5k & Monster Mile

Will I finish last at the Haunted Hustle 5k & Monster Mile?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:18, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:10:30, 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 Hustle 5k & Monster Mile a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (171 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. 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 Hustle 5k & Monster Mile?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:38 while the median finisher took 39:18. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
