Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K

Hillbilly Hustle 5K & 10K is held in Georgetown, Kentucky, on March 27, 2027. Both distances leave together at 8:00 AM: the Hillbilly Hustle 5K (3.1 miles) and the Hillbilly Hustle 10K (6.2 miles).

Having two options at the same start time makes the choice simple. Take the 5K if you are new to racing or want a sharp effort you can recover from by Monday; take the 10K if you have been running consistently and want a result that better reflects endurance. A common tip for the 10K: run the first two miles at a pace you could hold for eight, then decide. Preparation for either sits in the four-to-eight-week range with one faster session each week, and both distances translate well into a summer half marathon build afterwards.
