Holiday Hustle 5K Run/Walk 2026

Holiday Hustle is a December run/walk in Dexter, Michigan, centered on holiday lights and cold-night energy. The main event is a 5K through neighborhood light displays, with a 1 Mile dash for a shorter option. The series also includes a half marathon and a 13.1-mile relay, allowing walkers, casual runners, relay teams, and longer-distance runners to select a suitable version. The 5K follows Dexter’s decorated neighborhoods, while the half marathon and relay begin and end at Erratic Ale Co., proceeding out-and-back on the B2B Trail through Hudson Mills. The longer races conclude near a fire pit, with an optional cold beer afterward. Entry provides chip timing, finisher medals, official results, awards eligibility by overall and age group placing, and post-race snacks. The event embraces the holiday theme with a “naughty or nice” tone and encourages participants to contribute while burning off holiday calories.
