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?

Your participation helps support Habitat for Humanity of Dane County’s work to provide affordable homeownership opportunities in Dane County. Proceeds support the construction and financing of permanently affordable homes through:

• Volunteer labor: Engaging community members in building homes.
• Homeowner education: Empowering families with knowledge about homeownership.
• 0%-interest, income-based mortgages: Making homeownership accessible to more families.

Through fundraising, volunteer builds, and campus engagement, UW–Madison students play an active role in advancing Habitat’s mission. Habitat for Humanity of Dane County partners with families to build anywhere from 8–15 new homes each year.
