The NUTCRACKER 5K, Hilton Head Island
Race Update 11/3/19
What a great turnout for the 2019 Nutcracker 5k!! With the community's help, we were able to collect a few hundred toys and raise over $1,000 for The Deep Well Project. This was a fantastic race event coordinated by Go Tri Sports and Hilton Head Running Co. We are truly thankful for everyone’s time and effort, Hilton Head Dance Theatre, and a special mention to those at Horizon and Hilton Head Preparatory School for supporting this great cause.
Thank you!!
An Annual Hilton Head Community Event
Kick off the Holiday Season with the inaugural Nutcracker 5K on Hilton Head Island. We’ll have the main race, post race party, Nutcracker dancers and characters, and all the race goodies you can handle. 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.
What will be at the Nutcracker 5k this year?
The Nutcracker Themed 5K – think Nutcracker Ballet – dancers, characters, music … the Hilton Head Dance Theatre will be performing at the start / finish and on the course. Come ready to run, walk, play, dance – celebrate!
Race Swag – every registered participant receives a custom race t-shirt (a really cool one too!) – and, custom awards will be given to the race winners.
Post Race Party – Java Burrito is catering the post race party – expect delicious treats at the finish. Oh yeah, there will be dancers too – the Hilton Head Dance Theatre will be performing at the finish. So, save some energy to show off your moves.
Giving Back – the Deep Well Project – Hilton Head will benefit from a portion of the event’s proceeds. And, we are hosting a toy drive for the Deep Well Project too – so, bring a toy (see list below) and be included in drawings for special prizes.

The Deep Well Project is based on islanders helping their neighbors in need — and reflects the caring community in which we live. We are proud that a portion of the event’s proceeds will benefit the Deep Well Project.
