Event Overview
The Holiday Lights Hunger Run/Walk is a charity sports event held in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Taking place on the Saturday before Thanksgiving, the event offers participants an exclusive on-foot "sneak peek" of the Making Spirits Bright holiday lights show in Evergreen Park before it officially opens to the public for the season. All proceeds from the event support the Sheboygan County Food Bank to provide nutritious food for local families.
Distances and Categories
The event features multiple options for runners and walkers:
- 5K Run: A professionally timed race on an accurately measured course.
- 1-Mile Walk: Organized in three separate waves (Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3).
