Hustle for Habitat 5K

What is Hustle for Habitat?

Hustle for Habitat is a community 5K run/walk hosted by the Habitat for Humanity UW–Madison Chapter in support of Habitat for Humanity of Dane County. The event brings together community members and UW-Madison students to raise funds and awareness for affordable homeownership programs that help local families achieve long-term housing stability.

Why Join us?
