About the race
The City of Naples Halloween Hustle is a community 5K held at Baker Park in Naples, Florida. The event follows a twilight course along the Gordon River and encourages costumes. It is the second annual running of the event. Registration includes a race bib, a custom race t-shirt for those registered by September 13, 2026, and a glow in the dark finisher medal for participants who cross the line.
The race is chip timed by Endurance Sports Timing and awards are given to top overall male and female finishers plus age group awards in standard divisions. A Vendor Village is open to the public and features local food trucks and businesses, including Tacos & Tequila Cantina Food Truck, New Balance Naples, Compass Hotel by Margaritaville, and other vendors and refreshment options. All registered runners are entered in a drawing for a two night stay at Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Naples. Packet pick up is offered on October 7 and October 8 at named local locations, with a limited bib-only pick up the day of the event. Children under three, leashed dogs, and jogging strollers may join on the course; only registered participants receive a bib, shirt, and medal.
The park and Greenway remain open to the public and the course may share space with non-race pedestrians. The event runs rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
