Race Info
Warrior Rush - Army of Hades is a Halloween-themed 5K, 10K, and half marathon held at Hickory Creek Preserve in New Lenox, Illinois. The half marathon covers two laps of the preserve's trail system, largely on the paved Hickory Creek Bikeway. Runners get chip timing, a costume contest, and custom medals, with a post-race party featuring music and snacks. The 2026 race is the event's first year at this venue, run by the same organizer behind sibling Warrior Rush races in Wheaton, Illinois, and the Milwaukee area.
