From the organizer
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 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 Community Costume Contest - NO RACE REGISTRATION NECESSARY - and we have added the Neighborhood Cheer Contest that is open to everyone living along the route, see below for more details.
To enter the Community Costume Contest, swing by the photo booth (next to registration) to have your picture taken. There will be prizes awarded at 11:30am for the Costume Contest 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 .
