About the HICKORY HUSTLE 5K & 10K
The course runs mostly flat through Colfax, picking up a stretch of a rail trail along the way. The start is at the fire station and the finish is down the street at a local church, so the route is point-to-point through the middle of town during Ole Hickory Days, the community festival happening that weekend.
After finishing, runners are welcome to stay for a free breakfast at the church. The race benefits the local volunteer fire department and a family connected to it, with the whole event organized as a tribute to a firefighter and community member the town lost to ALS.
