About the Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K

The Hillbilly Hustle starts and finishes at Country Boy Brewing, a local brewery whose signature beer inspired the race name. The route heads out into the surrounding area and comes back to the taproom, so the finish line has that particular energy of a place where people are already hanging around. Both a shorter and a longer distance option are on offer.

After finishing, there is an Easter egg hunt on site and a post-race beer waiting at the brewery. The whole setup is casual enough that families show up to watch and stick around after.

Finish-Time Stats

Common Questions About the Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K

Will I finish last at the Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 42:27, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:03:47, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (168 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 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K?

The 5K winner ran 19:16 while the median finisher took 42:27. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
