About the Hayfield Hustle and Oktoberfest
The Hayfield Hustle runs through the grounds of New Pond Farm Education Center, a working conservation farm in Redding. The terrain is mixed, so expect a course that moves through fields and natural landscape rather than pavement. There are distance options for children and for adults who want either a shorter or longer run.
The race folds into a larger farm festival, so the finish area has real momentum to it. Hayrides, live music, farm animals, and food are all on site. Bratwurst, chili, and veggie burgers are available, along with ice cream from a local creamery and craft beer for those of age. Parking and logistics are not detailed, but the farm setting makes it a self-contained morning.
