About the Manatee Hustle 5K
The Manatee Hustle starts and finishes at First Baptist Indialantic, close to the beach, and has the casual beach-town feel you would expect from a morning near the coast. The course itself is a 5K, so it moves quickly, and the crowd at the finish tends to be a mix of people who ran, walked, and cheered from the sidelines.
Packet pickup is available the evening before at a local running store in Melbourne. On race morning, registration and pickup open early at the church before the start. After the race, there are snacks, yard games, and a DJ at the finish area, along with a coffee truck. There is also a name-the-manatee contest with a prize, which is exactly what it sounds like.

The Manatee Hustle 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
