Harvest Hustle 5K, 2 Mile Walk, & Fun Run - MS

Harvest Hustle 5K, 2 Mile Walk, & Fun Run - MS takes place in Laurel, Mississippi, on November 21, 2026. It is an afternoon event with three formats: the Harvest Hustle Fun Run kicks things off at 3:30 PM (no distance is listed for it), followed at 4:00 PM by both the Harvest Hustle 5K (3.1 miles) and the Harvest Hustle 2 Mile Walk. The staggered schedule lets families watch the fun run and then take part in the 5K or the walk without a long gap.

An afternoon start changes your fueling more than your training: eat a normal lunch, keep any snack light and done by 2:00 PM, and drink water through the day. The 2-mile walk is a relaxed option for anyone who wants to be part of the event without running, and takes most people 35 to 45 minutes. The 5K suits first-timers after a month or so of three short runs a week, and regular runners can race it off general fitness with one weekly interval session added in. Warm up for ten minutes before 4:00 PM, start steadily, and finish strong.
