Holiday Lights Hunger Run/Walk - Sheboygan, WI

Holiday Lights Hunger Run/Walk takes place in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on November 21, 2026, at Evergreen Park. The event gives participants an early look at the Making Spirits Bright holiday light show before it opens to the public. Two formats are on the schedule: a 5K run starting at 4:00 p.m. and a 1-mile walk at 5:00 p.m. All proceeds go to the Sheboygan County Food Bank, which provides nutritious food to families, seniors, and children in the area. Registration is free for kids 12 and under, early registrants receive gift bags, and the day includes professional timing, free refreshments, photo opportunities, an awards ceremony, and an after-party.

This is a family-oriented 5K on park grounds, run in the late afternoon among the holiday lights, so it suits walkers, kids, and casual runners as much as anyone chasing a fast time. If you want to race it, treat it as a late-season 5K: keep a few short tempo efforts in the weeks before, then run relaxed and enjoy the display. With a 4:00 p.m. start, plan your meals and warm-up for an afternoon effort rather than a morning one.
