Haunted Hustle 5K & 10K 2026

The Haunted Hustle 5K & 10K is a Halloween-themed run held at Bronte Creek Provincial Park, situated on the Burlington-Oakville border in Ontario. Participants can select between the 5K or 10K race. Children have the option of a 1K Fun Run, and those not running can walk the 5K loop. The event is designed for families and competitive runners alike, offering medals to all 5K, 10K, and 1K participants, alongside age-group and gender prizes in the main races. The course winds through the park's natural trails, featuring autumn colours as the backdrop instead of an urban setting. Costumes are encouraged, with specific awards for the fastest 5K and 10K runners in full costume, covering adult and under-18 divisions. This event supports Gore Park Community Outreach, an organization dedicated to combating hunger and food insecurity in Hamilton, Burlington, and surrounding areas, aiming to raise $40,000 in donations and net revenue. Activities available include face painting, a bounce castle, pumpkin decorating, and hot dogs, with dogs also permitted.
