On 6 December 2025, Holiday Hustle returns to Dexter with a full lineup: 13.1 miles (half marathon), 13.1-mile relay, 5K, and 1 mile fun run, each with its own start time (the half/relay at 11:00 AM, the shorter runs in the late afternoon/evening). The half marathon uses the Border-to-Border (B2B) Trail through Hudson Mills Metropark, starting and finishing at Erratic Ale Co., giving runners a chance at trail-adjacent scenery with minimal elevation variation. After the race, participants are welcomed by fire pits, post-race refreshments, a beer garden (for the half/relay), and local vendor offerings. The event is community-oriented: $5 of each registration is donated to local Dexter charities, and participants are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items for the local food bank. The festival atmosphere, lighting displays, and post-race traditions make it more than just a race — it’s a holiday celebration on foot.
