LR Wildcat Hustle

LR Wildcat Hustle is held in Rogersville, Missouri, on October 24, 2026. Two distances share an 8:00 a.m. start: a 10K over 6.2 miles and a 5K over 3.1 miles. Starting together keeps the logistics simple and means the finish area stays busy while both fields come in.

The 10K is the more demanding option and the more instructive one. It sits close enough to threshold effort that going out too hard is punished in the fifth and sixth miles, so aim to run the first half a few seconds per mile slower than goal pace and reel people in later. The 5K rewards a sharper, shorter preparation: four to six weeks with one interval session a week. If you are building toward a longer winter goal, either distance works as a hard effort inside a normal training week rather than a full taper.
