5k Fun Run Run Trail Walk

🎅🏼 Ho ho ho! Greetings from the North Pole! It’s me—St. Nick—inviting you to lace up those jingle bell shoes and join us for one holly-jolly morning at the Holiday Hustle 5K! 🎄🎁✨

🎅 Welcome back, my festive friends! The Holiday Hustle 5K is back and merrier than ever, taking place at the charming Trailblazer Park in Travelers Rest, just outside of Greenville. This joyful jaunt kicks off with a blazin’ fast downhill mile that’ll have even my reindeer asking for your training tips! 🦌💨 With the help of our friends in the Travelers Rest Police Department, the roads will be safe and sleigh-ready for all!

🎶 Expect holiday tunes, a bubble machine for the little elves, and a special souvenir for the first 150 good boys and girls who pick up their packets on race morning! (Trust me, they’re nicer than a lump of coal! 😉)

🎄 But this isn’t just a race—it’s a full-on holiday celebration! Whether you’re dashing through the course like Dasher or strolling with your snowman squad, this 5K is for all ages, all speeds, and all levels of holiday spirit. Don your Santa suits, elf ears, and candy cane leggings—the more festive, the better!

☕ Once you cross the finish line near the amphitheater, warm up with hot cocoa, festive treats, cheerful tunes, and maybe even a jolly photo with yours truly! (I do love a good selfie, especially when cookies are involved. 🍪📸)

🎁 Even better? Your jingle jog helps support local charities and spreads warmth to those who need it most this season. So not only are you getting those steps in, you’re also helping make spirits bright across the Upstate!

    This is an adventurous trail race as it includes the long climb to the top of the mountain.

    This year will see a new course due to the increased traffic at the park and their request that we use a slightly different one. The changes will be finalized soon. Due to supply chain issues we aren't offering jackets at this time. However if runners are interested in doing a shirt order then we can check on that availability and additional costs.
