Alger Heights Halloween 5k

Alger Heights Halloween 5k is a community race through the Alger Heights neighborhood of Grand Rapids, Michigan, held on October 31, 2026, with the 5k Run or Run/Walk starting at 10 a.m. over 3.1 miles. Chip timing covers every runner and walker, a costume contest is open to all with prizes for the best outfits, participants receive a medal and a gift bag, and various community activities run alongside the race.

Timing everyone, walkers included, means you leave with a real result whatever your pace. Neighborhood courses tend to turn often, so expect to lose a little speed at corners and run by effort rather than staring at your watch. If you are aiming for a personal best, keep the costume light enough to run in.
