The Halloween Hustle is an officially timed event using the disposable B-Tag timing system. Timing chips are attached directly to the back of your bib number and are to remain adhered for the duration of the event. In order to receive an accurate time, please confirm your bib is:
- Clearly visible on the front of the torso
- Unaltered and unmodified (Do not fold or wrinkle)
- Pinned in all four corners
- Not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)
There will be timing clocks at the start and finish lines. Results will be posted on-site and will be live.

PARKING
Free parking will be available at the parking garage at N. Smith St. & W. Colfax St. Follow the parking signs. There will be NO PARKING on the streets near the Start and Finish at Eric Dr. {Please do not park in the neighborhood}
REfund policy
Since the Halloween Hustle has many upfront costs, we have a strict and uniform policy of no refunds, no person-to-person transfer, or no deferrals to a future year. We do understand that plans change, injuries happen, and various situations arise, but, we feel it is most fair to apply a uniform policy to all, instead of a subjective line of who should receive a refund and who doesn’t. All purchases and sales are 100% final, no exceptions. Refunds will not be issued based on weather conditions or pandemics. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
