Palatine Halloween Hustle raises funds for Fathers Helping Fathers

The 13th Annual Palatine Halloween Hustle 5K & Kids Dash was held Saturday on a USATF-certified course through historic downtown Palatine. Immediately following the race, runners and spectators were able to partake in an after party at the Tap House Grill.

A portion of the race proceeds benefited Fathers Helping Fathers, a national not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping fathers' rights in the areas of parenting and raising awareness about the positive influence committed fathers have on the development of their children.
