Course Information:
The 5K course is a loop around the historic St. James campus on Monkton, Old York and Markoe Roads. The Trick or Treat Trot kids races, costumed fun runs for children age 10 and under, will be held on the St. James campus. There will be multiple kids' races ranked by ages and number of participants. The Family Fun Walk is a 2 mile walk that will be an out and back course along the 5K course.

Benefits:

Originally organized as a way to remember Benjamin Huxtable, whose life was tragically cut short in 2005, the Halloween Hustle has turned into a celebration of the lives of countless children in and around the Baltimore area.  All the proceeds from the Halloween Hustle will benefit the construction of a community playground at the future Jacksonville Park in Phoenix.  "Our Children's Playground" will be built in cooperation with the Baltimore County Department of Recreation and Parks and will be in memory of all children who have left us too soon.   

Participant Fundraising:
Join the $100 Club! The Halloween Hustle's all-volunteer race committee is challenging all race participants to raise $100 in addition to entry fees.  Ask others to sponsor your participation.
