🏃 THE COURSE
The Harvest Hustle is a 3.1-mile run/walk on a USATF-certified, out-and-back course.

The mostly flat road course takes runners and walkers through the scenic countryside surrounding Fifer Orchards, with views of:

🍎 Apple orchards
🎃 Pumpkin fields
🌾 Farmland
🍂 Beautiful Delaware fall scenery

And one of our favorite parts...
The final section of the race takes participants directly through the apple orchard on a dirt road.

This is a family-friendly event and walkers are welcome.

Chip Timing
The Harvest Hustle 5K will be professionally chip-timed by Races2Run.
