About the Hobart Hustle 5K

The Hobart Hustle runs through Troy starting from the Hobart Brothers lot on Trade Square East. The course is a single out-and-back or loop from an industrial campus setting, and the morning has the feel of a neighborhood gathering more than a timed event. Paces vary widely and the atmosphere is unhurried.

Packet pickup is offered the evening before at a separate Hobart facility on Ridge Avenue, with a second pickup window on race morning in the same parking lot where the start line is set up. After the race, there is an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast open to everyone who runs.

Finish-Time Stats

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.

Common Questions About the Hobart Hustle 5K

Will I finish last at the Hobart Hustle 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 40:25, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:09:21, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hobart Hustle 5K a good first 5K?

It is a small race (95 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 Hobart Hustle 5K?

The 5K winner ran 19:32 while the median finisher took 40:25. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
