This October 17, 2021, building on the established success of the Roscoe Village Neighbors Halloween Parade, which is attended by over 5,000 people per year, RVN hosts its 3rd annual Roscoe Village 5K race and Fun Run the morning of this annual event, the parade now in its 20th year.

This will be an all-day celebration of Halloween and the Roscoe Village community which will include the following schedule of activities:

8:00am – 8:45am  On-site packet pick-up and on-site registration will be available for $50/person for the Roscoe Village 5k, and $20/person for the Fun Run.
9:00am – 10:30am 
5K race winding through the streets of Roscoe Village, costumes will be encouraged
10:30am – 11:00am  Age 10 and under kids Costumed Fun Run down Roscoe Street. All kids participating will receive a finisher’s medal
12:00pm– 12:30pm  The 20th Annual RVN Halloween Parade, beginning at Oakley and proceeding to Damen
12:30pm – 4:00pm  Crafts, a photo booth, food trucks, activities, and much, much more

The race, featuring the streets of Roscoe Village, is geared toward all ages and competition levels! All proceeds will go back to directly benefitting the community and its neighborhood programs.

Costumes are encouraged for all in attendance. There will also be food, music, and beer booths. Whether you are a serious runner, or just love to celebrate Halloween, the event will bring together running enthusiasts, school supporters, neighbors and party-goers of all ages.

This year’s post-race activities (located between Hoyne and Hamilton on Roscoe) promise to be the biggest ever. We’ve increased the number of craft and activity tables, commissioned a photo booth and arranged for food trucks to be in place.

From tents set up along Roscoe to dancing, costume-contests, food vendors and photo vignettes they’ll be something for everyone. Dress up in your costumes and come see why Roscoe Village was rated #1 for best trick-or-treating!

USATF Course Certification Number: IL18045NM

Weather Policy: Race officials will be monitoring any inclement weather throughout the weekend of the race. The event will continue as scheduled in the circumstance of rain but will be delayed if any lightning moves into the area. The race will begin no later than 9:30 a.m. If inclement weather causes a delay that would result in a start time after 9:30 a.m., the event will be cancelled. Any updates related to weather will be distributed via speakers at the event and on StarEvents official social media channels.

If you have any questions, please contact [email protected], and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

NOTE: Between 8:00am – 8:45am on the day of the race, on-site packet pick-up and on-site registration will be available for $50/person for the Roscoe Village 5k, and $20/person for the Fun Run.
