The Haunted Hustle 5k & Spooky Sprint 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.

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 35:59, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
It is a small race (58 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.
The 3.1 Miles winner ran 23:41 while the median finisher took 35:59. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
