About the Hustle to End Hunger 5K

The course runs through John Prince Park, a large public park in Lake Worth. The route is flat and mostly shaded, which matters when the race falls in early fall heat. Kids can join in too, with a short dash for younger runners alongside the main event. All proceeds go directly to hunger relief through the organizing ministry.

Packet pickup happens the evening before at a running store on Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach. Race-morning pickup opens early at the park before the start. Both options give you flexibility depending on your week.

Common Questions About the Hustle to End Hunger 5K

Will I finish last at the Hustle to End Hunger 5K?

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 41:20, and the last recorded finisher came in around 1:14:09, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Hustle to End Hunger 5K a good first 5K?

A field of 219 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. 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 Hustle to End Hunger 5K?

The 5K winner ran 19:56 while the median finisher took 41:20. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
