Alger Heights Halloween 5k
The Alger Heights Halloween 5k is a volunteer-led, neighborhood-focused running event held in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The event is presented as a community gathering around a chip-timed 5k (3.1 miles) through the Alger Heights neighborhood during peak fall colors. The 2026 edition is the 14th and takes place on October 31, 2026 at 2404 Eastern Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49507.
All 5k participants are chip timed regardless of pace or whether they run or walk. The event emphasizes inclusion and local community support and describes itself as a "small town in a big city" gathering.
The 5k is accompanied by a number of free neighborhood activities that do not require race registration. Those activities include a Community Costume Contest, a Neighborhood Cheer Contest, Alger Heights Business District trick-or-treating, and an Eastern & Alger Pop-up Market. Registration opens January 1, 2026 and closes May 25, 2026; the listed registration fee is $30.00. The event is volunteer organized and framed around neighborhood participation and community activities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
