Holistic Hustle 5K/10K

Lace up for the Holistic Hustle 5K/10K on Saturday, October 31, 2026, set against the stunning backdrop of Emmons Preserve in Kennebunkport, Maine. This vibrant annual event, now in its fourth year, offers a timed 10K (6.2M) or 5K (3.1M) run/walk, alongside a spirited 0.5-mile fun run for kids, making it an ideal outing for runners of all ages and abilities. Participants will navigate the beautiful trails and scenery of Emmons Preserve, known for its picturesque natural environment. The Holistic Hustle is more than just a race; it's a fundraiser supporting the School Around Us, a co-learning community dedicated to holistic and environmental education.

Beyond the rewarding course, the Holistic Hustle cultivates a fantastic atmosphere with music, face painting, and yard games for everyone to enjoy. Each participant crossing the finish line will receive a unique wood-burned medal to commemorate their achievement, with awards presented to the first-place overall male and female in both the 5K and 10K. Post-race, runners can refuel with complimentary refreshments, including Congdon's doughnuts, cookies, hot chocolate, and Wicked Joe coffee. Additionally, all participants receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win local gift cards, some valued up to $250.

Join the community for a memorable day where typical race day conditions often present crisp autumn air, with highs around 54F and lows around 34F, and only a 16% chance of precipitation—perfect weather for hitting the trails. The event is hosted at 57 Gravelly Brook Road in Kennebunkport, offering an accessible and scenic start and finish line. Secure your spot and contribute to a wonderful cause that fosters lifelong learning and a connection to the environment.
