Alger Heights Halloween 5k

The Alger Heights Halloween 5k is a volunteer led, neighborhood focused 5k fun run. 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 our 13th edition on Saturday October 25th 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 Community Costume Contest - NO RACE REGISTRATION NECESSARY - and is open to everyone. Be sure to swing by the photo booth to have your picture taken. There will be prizes for best individual uner18, best individual over10, best group (2-3), and best group (4 more) costumes!

For 2025 we are excited to share that for this year:

• All participants will receive a finisher metal and swag bag from our sponsors
• A slightly altered course to dial in the mileage
• More community activities after the race

More details and announcements coming as we get closer to race day - be sure to follow us on Strava, Facebook, and Instagram.
