About the Holiday Hustle 5k

The course runs on paved trails in and around a park, so the footing is consistent throughout. A shorter fun run option opens things up for younger runners, and an additional trail segment on dirt, gravel, and grass gives anyone wanting more of a workout a rougher alternative. Runners are encouraged to come in holiday costume, and the outfit competition adds some theater to the start line.

Race check-in happens the morning of the race. After finishing, hot chocolate and cookies are out for anyone who sticks around. The race also collects warm clothing donations for a local cold-weather shelter program, so bringing a hat, gloves, or a coat is a way to give something back on the way in.

Common Questions About the Holiday Hustle 5k

Will I finish last at the Holiday Hustle 5k?

Almost certainly not. Half the race field finished slower than 32:02, and the last recorded finisher came in around 55:36, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Holiday Hustle 5k a good first race?

It is a small race (49 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first race, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Holiday Hustle 5k?

The race winner ran 18:38 while the median finisher took 32:02. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
