Haunted Hustle Run 2026

The Haunted Hustle is a Halloween-themed race day held at KEVA Sports Center in Middleton, Wisconsin, with the start and finish lines at the same location. The event offers a half marathon, 10K, 5K, 5K dog jog, 5K walk, and a kid's run, suitable for runners, walkers, families, and participants with a dog. The race names reflect the theme, such as the Monster Dash, Haunted Half Marathon, Terror 10K, Run For Your Life 5K, Great Pup-Kin Run, and Zombie Walk 5K. The Middleton races begin in a sequence on a Saturday morning, starting with the kids' Monster Dash, followed by the longer and shorter distance races departing a few minutes apart. Costumes are encouraged, but standard running attire is also acceptable. The finish area features live music and refreshments, contributing to a Halloween festival atmosphere rather than a simple road race. A separate Haunted Hustle 5K run/walk takes place in Jefferson City, Missouri, with proceeds benefiting the Sneaker Project.
