About the Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run

The course runs through residential streets in Lincolnshire, crosses a couple of bridges, and passes through the Riverside Foundation property itself, where residents line the route to cheer. The start is along a bike path, a short walk from the parking area, which doubles as the post-race party venue.

Packet pickup the afternoon before is at Half Day Brewing Company, the same spot where the post-race party is held. Parking is in the lot on the west side of that building. After the race, there is a buffet add-on option, live music, and raffle drawings at the brewery.

Common Questions About the Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run

Will I finish last at the Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 39:10, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:18:59, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (147 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 Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 19:35 while the median finisher took 39:10. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
