Holiday Hustle
The Holiday Hustle is a seasonal running event in Dexter, Michigan held on December 5, 2026. It features multiple race options and a charity component supporting local Dexter organizations.

Distances offered:

The half marathon has a four hour time limit and requires participants to reach Aid B (5.25 miles) by the posted cutoff or they will be turned back to Dexter. Aid stations provide water, Gatorade, and GU at miles 2, 5, 8, and 11.5; toilets are available at miles 2, 6, 8, and 11.5. Volunteer pacers from Next Level Running Club will lead groups at a range of minute per mile paces to target specific finish times.
The relay is split into two legs of 7.4 miles and 5.7 miles, with the second runner staging at Hudson Mills Metro Park where a parking pass is required. Post race options include a beer garden outside Erratic Ale Co. and Monument Park post race festivities with many lit trees. Finisher medals are awarded for all distances; overall and age group awards are given for the 5K and half marathon, and top relay teams are recognized.
A portion of each entry fee supports local charities, and participants can donate canned food for Faith in Action to receive raffle tickets. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
