Santa Dash - Hastings

The Santa Dash in Hastings, MI, is a festive 5K event that combines fitness with community support. Participants register by donating an unwrapped gift for a local child, which benefits the United Way Christmas program. The race begins at the Barry Community Enrichment Center and takes runners through downtown Hastings, following a candy cane-shaped course along the River Walk.

Participants are encouraged to wear festive outfits for a chance to win a costume grand prize, and all registrants receive a Santa hat. This family-friendly event promotes health and holiday spirit while giving back to the community. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
