About the Harvest Hustle : Run the Race
The Harvest Hustle runs through Purcell Park, a neighborhood-scale course that suits anyone from first-timers to those chasing a personal best. The route is chip-timed, and the race benefits athletes at a local Christian school, with proceeds going toward a new track on their campus. Families with strollers are encouraged to join.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a separate location across town, with race-morning pickup available at the park for those who miss it. A shorter kids' run goes off before the main race, so families tend to arrive early and settle in before the start.
