Haunted Hustle - Grand Prairie

Haunted Hustle - Grand Prairie runs in Grand Prairie, Texas, on October 31, 2026. Both distances go off together at 8:00 a.m.: a 5K over 3.1 miles and a one-mile fun run for anyone who wants a shorter morning.

An eight o'clock start means an early alarm, and the warm-up is the first thing people drop when they are running late. Give yourself ten to fifteen minutes of easy jogging plus three or four short accelerations before the gun, because at 5K effort you reach race pace almost immediately and legs that have not been opened up will complain for the whole first mile. As for training, one weekly session of hard repetitions over a month is the difference between finishing a 5K and racing one.
