The Holiday Hustle 5k takes place on December 12, 2026 in Swedesboro, New Jersey at 58 Locke Ave, Swedesboro, NJ 08085. The event includes distance options and family-oriented fun runs on paved park trails.
Distances:
- 5k
- 8k adds about 1.7 miles on dirt, gravel and grass trails to the 5k course
- Elf Dash : 1 mile

The 5k and related runs use paved trails in and around the park. The 8k follows the 5k course with an additional roughly 1.7 miles on unpaved trail surfaces.
Post-race items and activities listed by the organizer include a custom mug for every participant, finisher medals that also serve as tree ornaments, free race photos, and prizes for best holiday-themed outfit. The Little Debbie Cake Mile is a free, after-awards event where participants eat a Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cake, run a quarter mile, and repeat until a full mile is completed; the fastest finisher wins.
Awards are given to the top three male and female overall and to age group winners in these categories: under 15, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and over.
