The 2025 Harvest Hustle saw 65 participants and supporters raise $5,700 for Community Living Chatham-Kent (CLCK).
The run, which took place along Mud Creek Oct. 18, also included a seasonal vendor market.
The Harvest Hustle featured a full morning of movement and celebration. Participants took part in a 5K run, Walk & Wheel, and Kids Dash, while families enjoyed face painting, fall-themed photography, and a pumpkin-decorating station.
The newly introduced Vendor Village showcased a variety of local artisans and businesses.
Within the market, Nest Realty also ran The Great Pumpkin Giveaway, where attendees could trade a non-perishable food item for a pumpkin. Goods collected were donated to Outreach for Hunger.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better autumn day to celebrate community,” said Jenny McGregor, manager of community relations for CLCK, in a media release. “The energy, the smiles, and the spirit of giving were incredible. We’re truly grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the 2025 Harvest Hustle such a memorable event.”
