Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run

Riverside Foundation Halloween Hustle 5K Walk or Run takes place in Lincolnshire, Illinois, on October 25, 2026. One format is listed, a 5K run or walk covering 3.1 miles, and it starts at 10:00 a.m.

Letting runners and walkers share the same start makes this an easy race to enter with company of mixed ability, since nobody has to keep up with anybody. For those racing it, a mid-morning gun is generous: eat two to three hours out, arrive with twenty minutes to spare, and jog until you are warm before lining up. Four to six weeks of preparation will cover a 5K if you already run a few times a week, with one weekly session of repeats at race effort and everything else kept easy. Recovery is short enough that the race barely interrupts a longer autumn build.
