About the DH Holiday Hustle 5K & 1 Mile Walk/Run
This is an afternoon holiday race in the Donelson Hermitage area, starting on Donelson Pike. The course includes both a longer run and a shorter walk/run option. The 5K is officially timed; the mile is not, which keeps the shorter distance feeling more casual. There is also a costume contest, so expect some festive outfits at the start line.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race at a location announced closer to the event, with the race itself getting underway in the mid-afternoon. Awards go to top finishers in the 5K as well as to the best costumes, with winners needing to be present to claim them.
