Event Description

Looking for some safe, spooky fun this Halloween? Fundraise for The ACRES Project as an individual or team to earn great prizes, then put on your best Halloween costume and run (or walk) 5k anywhere and at any time between October 24th and Nov. 1. All participants get a t-shirt!

Why a Virtual 5K?

🎃 It's family-friendly. Although we will have a timed run on Oct. 31st for competitive runners, participants can complete their 5k at their own pace, or even over multiple days. The point is to get outside and have fun while raising money for a good cause!

🎃 It's fun! All registered participants (young, old, and four-legged) are encouraged to dress up for our costume contest as they complete their 5K. During the 5K week, you'll be able to post your best photos on our RunSignUp website and social media using the hashtag #acreshalloweenhustle. Our favorite costumes will win a prize!

🎃 It's for a great cause. The ACRES Project relies almost entirely on community support to allow us to offer critical support programs for adults with autism at low or no cost. With our traditional fundraisers canceled this year due to the pandemic, a virtual 5K is needed to help us close the funding gap and ensure that we will continue to be there to support our community.

More information will be coming soon, so check back frequently! Have fun, stay safe, and have a happy Halloween!
