Next year's date is not listed yet. This page updates when it is.
This fall race runs through Green Bay, and the finish has hot cider and caramel apples waiting when you get there. The setup fits the season, and the air will likely be cold enough that you will want something warm to hold on the walk back to your car. It is an autumn morning race in the fullest sense.

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

The Hot Cider Hustle - Green Bay Half Marathon & 5K has been held every year since at least 2017. 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.
Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 35:00, and the last recorded finisher came in around 2:26:54, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
With 812 finishers there are runners at every pace, so you are never out on your own. 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.
The 5K winner ran 18:05 while the median finisher took 35:00. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
