Holiday Hustle 5K & 10K - Sacramento
Holiday Hustle is a map-based team event held at Valley Oak Park Picnic Shelter in Sacramento, CA (2780 Mabry Dr., GPS 38.674562, -121.528582). Teams of one to five navigate marked circles on a map to find houses with holiday displays and answer a simple multiple choice question at each checkpoint. After returning to the finish there are snacks, drinks, and socializing.
Course details include:
- 5K, roughly 20 checkpoints
- 10K, roughly 36 checkpoints
The event uses gender divisions (Women, Men, Mixed) and age divisions (Junior, Open, Masters for average age 40+, Family for juniors and adults). Team members submit a shared answer sheet with team and member names at the finish. Closed-toed shoes are recommended and the event proceeds rain or shine. Day-of registration is available and online registration is offered; the organizer provides a full refund for cancellations.
The start area is at Valley Oak Park; Sacramento Regional Transit route 11 stops about a half mile from the park. The course maps show checkpoint circles; participants locate the house at the center of each circle and move to the next checkpoint after answering the question. Multiple past Holiday Hustle events in other cities are noted in the event history. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
