2026 Holiday Hustle

Race Information

The Holiday Hustle takes place in Dexter, Michigan, featuring a 13.1-mile Half Marathon (with a 2-person relay option), a 5K, and a 1-Mile run. The festive race gives back to the community by donating $5 of every entry fee to local Dexter charities and offering raffle entries in exchange for canned food items for the Faith in Action food bank.

The Half Marathon runners kick off at from Erratic Ale Co. (with a 4-hour time limit and support from Next Level Running Club volunteer pacers), while 1-Mile and 5K participants set off later in the afternoon at Monument Park amid nearly 100 lit-up trees. All finishers earn a medal, and participants who complete all three distances take on the ultimate "Snowman 17 Mile Challenge" before celebrating with post-race festivities, including an outdoor beer garden at Erratic Ale Co.
