We’re back from the beyond for the Haunted Hustle 5K & 10K Run/Walk—a fun, costume-themed, non-timed, and family-friendly Halloween tradition! Come dressed for fun, grab your friends, and kick off Halloween with a bang. A prize will be awarded for Best Overall Costume, so get creative!
Participation is limited to the first 200 registrants across the 5K and 10K, so don’t wait—this spooky favorite fills fast.
Both races feature a course starting at Clarks Creek South in Puyallup, taking participants on a memorable run/walk through the cemetery, with a mix of sidewalks and off-the-beaten-path sections for a hauntingly good time.
Registration includes:
Event bib
Finisher medal
After-race snacks
Prize Drawing
Whether you’re running, walking, or just in it for the costumes and community, Haunted Hustle is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween. Important: For the safety of all participants and pets, NO pets are allowed on the course.
Costumes on, spirits high—join us if you dare! 🎃👻

From Endurance Grid
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.
The 10K is the distance where running stops feeling like a starting point and starts feeling like a sport. Long enough to require a real training block. Short enough that race day is fully manageable for a first-timer who's put in the work.
Race day energy at a 10K is community at its best — strangers cheering you by name, people moving toward the same goal, an atmosphere that solo training can't replicate. It's fast enough that you'll spend the whole race pushing rather than managing your effort.
This is also the distance that builds the base for everything else. Most athletes who go on to run half marathons, do triathlons, or compete in HYROX started here. What you need: running shoes fitted to your stride, a training plan, and the race on your calendar. The registration is what makes the deadline real.
How long to train: 4–8 weeks for most fitness levels.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
