About the Healing Heart Hustle 5K
The course starts and finishes at a university student union building in Fort Wayne. It is a benefit run for a local children's grief support organization, so the crowd tends toward families pushing strollers and wagons. The post-race gathering moves inside the student union, where there are snacks, games, and snow cones.
Packet pickup is available the evening before the race at the grief support organization's own facility, and again on race day at the student union before the start. Parking is in a nearby campus garage. Day-of registration is open for anyone who decides to join at the last minute.

Going by the 2025 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Healing Heart Hustle 5K has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
