Holiday Hustle 5K

Kick off the holiday season with a fun and festive run for all ages! It’s the SWEETEST run of the season! Lace up, laugh loud, and get ready for the Holiday Hustle 5k — where holiday cheer meets chocolatey goodness! Presented by Fleet Feet Northern NJ and Asics! Enjoy a flat and fast, USATF Certified 5-kilometer course.

Run, walk, or prance like a reindeer through Overpeck Park and cross the finish line to a well-deserved reward: warm cocoa, fresh cookies, and all the cozy holiday vibes. Costumes, Santa hats and reindeer antlers are highly encouraged, smiles required! 

Whether you’re running for a personal best or strolling with friends and family, this is the perfect way to stay active, spread joy, and soak up the holiday spirit.
