Haunted Hustle 5K - Hendersonville, TN

Haunted Hustle 5K runs in Hendersonville, Tennessee, on October 31, 2026. The event lists a single format, a 5K over 3.1 miles, going off at 8:00 a.m. It is a compact morning: one wave, one distance, and most of Halloween still in front of you when you finish.

Because the effort only lasts fifteen to thirty minutes, what you do in the last ten days matters more than any single big week. Cut your mileage back slightly, keep one short session of fast running so your legs stay sharp, and sleep rather than cram in extra miles. On race morning, arrive early enough for a fifteen-minute jog and a few strides, since a 5K gives you no time to ease into it once the gun goes.
