The Halloween Hustle is a local race put on by local people with 100% of proceeds benefiting a local charity—the Harmony House. Taking place on Saturday, October 28 at 9 am., the Halloween Hustle offers a 5K and 10K race option. The race starts and ends at City Utilities, 301 East Central Street. This relatively flat race route winds through historic mid-town Springfield. Expect no tricks, but lots of treats at the Halloween Hustle—with candy for your little ghosts and goblins on every corner. An event for kids of all ages—runners are encouraged get in the holiday spirit and wear their Halloween costumes.
