We're Back! The 3rd Annual Holiday Hustle 5k dashes into town on Saturday, December 12, 2026!
Run, jog, stroll—or shuffle like you’re late to a holiday party—in this festive, chip-timed fun run. For the younger crowd (ages 0-9), we’ve got the Kids 1k Reindeer Dash—antlers optional, but highly recommended.
YES! There are age group awards, but let’s be honest: the real prize is the festive t-shirt and finisher medal you’ll casually wear to every family gathering as proof you’re both athletic and jolly.
Holiday attire is “optional” in the same way fruitcake is “optional” at Christmas—it’s happening whether you like it or not. And yes, there are prizes for the best dressed, so start planning your elf-on-the-runway look now.
This may be the least stressful day of your holiday season, unless of course you get overtaken by a Reindeer in the 1k. Either way, sign up now and secure your spot in the most festive hustle of the year!
