About the HAWK HUSTLE 5K RUN/WALK

The race starts and finishes on the track at a former high school that is now a large community center and park. Spectators can watch from the bleachers as runners head out through an adjacent residential subdivision and loop back. The course is open to subdivision traffic, so the organizers ask everyone to be respectful of residents along the way.

Packet pickup happens race morning at the community center, with a window of time before the gun. Parking is in the lots right next to the building. There are no race-day registration options, so you need to be signed up ahead of time. Refreshments are available after the finish.

Common Questions About the HAWK HUSTLE 5K RUN/WALK

Will I finish last at the HAWK HUSTLE 5K RUN/WALK?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 41:53, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:11:45, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the HAWK HUSTLE 5K RUN/WALK a good first 3.1 Miles?

It is a small race (142 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the HAWK HUSTLE 5K RUN/WALK?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 17:48 while the median finisher took 41:53. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
