About the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk

This is a Halloween costume race that benefits the local elementary school. The proceeds help cover activity fees for families and fund classroom supplies requested by teachers. After finishing, there is a costume contest with prizes for the winners, along with a bounce house and a DJ. A pumpkin pancake breakfast is served on-site.

The race starts from a shelter at Grady Park. There is also a shorter trick-or-treat walk for younger kids, with stops along the route where they can collect candy. Check-in opens before the race start, and the whole morning wraps up with enough time to spare for the rest of your day.

Common Questions About the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk

Will I finish last at the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 36:04, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:02:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk a good first 5K?

It is a small race (124 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Saukville Scare Halloween Themed 5K Run/Walk?

The 5K winner ran 17:21 while the median finisher took 36:04. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
