About the Holiday Hustle 5K
The course starts at a bar on Broadway Street, heads south to Reed Road, swings through a transport company lot, and comes back north the same way. It is an out-and-back on a main road, straightforward and runnable, with holiday costumes encouraged if you want to get into the spirit.
Packet pickup opens in the hour before the gun, right at the start venue. Post-race awards cover overall and age-division winners across a wide range of divisions. The race benefits CASA of River Valley, which trains volunteers to advocate for children in the foster care system.
