About the Hot Cider Hustle - Fort Wayne Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The Hot Cider Hustle comes to Fort Wayne in the heart of fall, with several distance options to suit different goals. The timing puts you out on the course in cool autumn air, which tends to make the effort feel easier than it would in warmer months. Expect a seasonal atmosphere rather than a stripped-down road race.
At the finish there is hot cider and caramel apples, which fits the time of year about as well as anything could. Those are the details that get people to come back.
