About the Good Samaritan Ho Ho Hustle on the Wabash 5K and Kids Fun Run
This race runs alongside the Wabash River and serves as the opening event for a Christkindlmarkt festival happening the same morning. Ugly Christmas sweaters are encouraged, and the crowd reflects that spirit. There is no chip timing, so the atmosphere leans toward people out for a holiday morning more than a hard effort.
Hot chocolate is waiting at the finish, and the Christkindlmarkt vendor market opens right after, so most people stay to browse local vendors and holiday food. A guided mobility session runs post-race as well. The whole thing flows from start line into festival without much of a gap.
