Speedy Scares at the haunted hustle

V1 Staff |

Whoever said you can’t run from your fears never took part on the Haunted Hustle, a 5K run/walk during which you’re bound to be dashing away from something “spooktacular.” The third annual event – which will be Saturday, Oct. 24, in downtown Eau Claire’s Owen Park – also will feature a Spooky Sprint for kids, costume contests (runners are encouraged to dress up), and family entertainment. The Haunted Hustle is presented by Group Health Cooperative of Eau Claire to benefit the Eau Claire YMCA, which will use the funds to provide health food to kids at its after-school child-care sites. Registration for the 5K is $25, while kids 12 and under can sign up for the Spooky Spring for $10. To learn more and register, find the link at group-health.com. Chippewa Valley Family is among the media sponsors, so come down and say “boo!”
