St. Louis, MO
The Hot Cider Hustle runs in late autumn, when the trees in St. Louis are doing their thing and the air has a bite to it. The race offers a shorter and a longer distance option, so people tend to show up with different goals in mind. Hot cider and a caramel apple wait at the finish, which makes the post-race crowd linger a little longer than usual.
