The Haunted Hustle 5K / 10K / 1K Run is a fundraising event, with 100% of net proceeds and donations provided to a worthy cause. This year our goal is to raise $40,000 for Gore Park Community Outreach, including $15,000 in direct donations.

Gore Park Community Outreach is a registered charity that provides food to over 4000 people each week. Volunteers meet each Saturday at Hamilton City Hall parking lot to distribute hot meals and basic food supplies to people in need. Their programs also support students at McMaster University, as well as people living in Burlington and surrounding communities.

Voluntary donations can be made as your register to run or walk. CRA receipts issued for all donations over $20.

You can also create a fundraising team and set a fundraising goal. Race Roster has all the tools you need to make it easy!
