Celebrate the season with movement, music, and meaningful impact at the Jingle Bell 5K Hustle (Run/Walk) & Jingle Dash 1K Kids Run, hosted by the New Berlin YMCA at scenic Greenfield Park. This festive event features a timed 5K Hustle for avid runners or festive walkers and a 1K Jingle Dash for kids — plus a dog-friendly option for those who want to bring their four-legged companions (additional fee applies, costumes encouraged!). Everyone also gets to meet the "Jolly Ole Elf" himself as Santa will be there to cheer everyone on! All proceeds from the Jingle Bell Hustle/Dash benefit the YMCA and provide support to a family or individual in need through programs like Youth Strong and LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, helping families in our community thrive. So lace up, layer up, and join us for a race that warms hearts and builds hope — one joyful step at a time.
Whether you're racing for speed or strolling in a Santa hat, this event is packed with holiday cheer and community spirit:
Santa Letter Station & Photo Station — Write letters and snap pics with Santa in a cozy holiday setting
Holiday Mug & Cocoa Station — All 5K finishers receive a commemorative mug and warm cocoa
