Alger Heights Halloween 5k

About the race

The Alger Heights Halloween 5k is a volunteer led, neighborhood focused 5k. We are a 'small town in a big city' event that seeks to include all individuals and support the betterment of our local community.  From runners seeking their next PR to walkers in costumes all 5k participants are chip timed as the run through the scenic Alger Heights neighborhood during peak fall colors.  We are excited to be back for 2026 with our 14th edition on Saturday October 31st and invite you to come run, jog, walk, or stroll in your best costume! The 5k is just part of a greater neighborhood gathering. Like last year, we will be having a number of FREE activities that are open to everyone that do not require a race registration:  a Community Costume Contest, a Neighborhood Cheer Contest (see below for more details), Alger Heights Business District trick-or-treating, and a special Eastern & Alger Pop-up Market. To enter the Community Costume Contest, swing by the photo booth (next to registration) to have your picture taken prior to the start of the race. There will be prizes awarded at the conclusion of the awards ceremony (estimated time 11:30-45am) for best individual under 18, best individual over 18, best group (2-3), and best group (4 more) costumes along with a prize for the best Neighborhood cheer section along the course More details and announcements coming as we get closer to race day - be sure to follow us on Strava, Facebook, and Instagram.  If you have any questions, please reach out to us at [email protected].
