Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon & 5K - Shorewood

Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon & 5K - Shorewood offers a half marathon (13.1 miles) and a 5K run/walk in Shorewood, Wisconsin, on October 24, 2026, with both distances starting together at 8:30 a.m. At the finish, runners are handed hot cider, a caramel apple and a souvenir mug. Event details can change, so check before race weekend.

This is a road race with a relaxed edge, and the later start is friendly for anyone driving in the morning of. The 5K accepts walkers, which makes it an easy entry point for a first event or a family member who wants the finish line without the mileage. If you are running the half, twelve weeks of steady training with a weekly long run is the standard preparation, and the shared start with the 5K means the first mile will feel busier than your goal pace deserves, so hold back early.
