Kick off the Holiday Season with the Nutcracker 5K on Hilton Head Island.
We’ve got the race, we’ve got the post race party, we’ve got the Nutcracker dancers and characters, and we’ve got the race swag. Come run, walk, play, dance … and, celebrate the holiday spirit. The event benefits the Deep Well Project of Hilton Head – so, bring a toy and be included in drawings for special prizes. The 5K run / walk event promises to be great time for ages. This event will challenge the participants to a 5K run / walk, serve as a toy drive for the Deep Well Project of Hilton Head, and show off the Hilton Head Dance Theatre’s dancers and playful characters. We guarantee this community event will fill your legs and hearts with joy.
