Howl-o-ween 5k - Schaumburg 2026

The Howl-o-ween 5K is a chip-timed 5K run or walk held at Busse Woods Grove 27 in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, near Schaumburg. This Halloween-themed event includes both pets and people: runners and walkers can bring a dog, and dogs do not require separate registration. J3 Timing manages the scoring, with live results available post-race. The route takes place in Busse Woods, offering a park outing feel rather than a competitive road race. The event supports animal shelters and charities, accounting for the dog-friendly nature and treats for participants, both human and canine. Standard 5K registration provides a short sleeve shirt, chip-timed bib, finisher medal, and race entry. A virtual option is also available for those unable to attend.
