TOP 5 REASONS TO RUN HARVEST MOON HUSTLE
#1 RUN A 10K FROM DUSK INTO DARKNESS
Leave the ordinary morning road race behind. The Harvest Moon Hustle begins in the fading evening light and carries runners into the darkness beneath the Nebraska sky. This nighttime 10K in Elmwood delivers a completely different running experience—and an atmosphere you won’t find at a typical race.
#2 CHASE A PR ON A FAST, FLAT TRAIL COURSE
Looking for a fast Nebraska 10K? The crushed-limestone MoPac Trail provides a flat, runner-friendly course that is ideal for chasing a personal record. Settle into your rhythm, find your speed and discover just how quickly a 10K can pass when you’re racing through the night.
#3 EXPERIENCE A BEAUTIFUL FALL RUN ON THE MOPAC TRAIL
Run beneath a canopy of trees as the evening light fades and the colors of fall surround you. The Harvest Moon Hustle course combines the natural beauty of the MoPac Trail with the character of small-town Elmwood, creating one of Nebraska’s most distinctive fall running events.
#4 JOIN ONE OF NEBRASKA’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER RACES
There’s a reason the Harvest Moon Hustle sells out year after year. Nebraska runners return for its fast course, nighttime setting, exceptional organization and close-knit race atmosphere. Space is limited, making every spot on the starting line—and every finish beneath the moon—feel special.
#5 FINISH THE NIGHT WITH AN UNFORGETTABLE AFTER-PARTY
Your night doesn’t end when you cross the finish line. Celebrate your 10K accomplishment with fellow runners at a high-energy post-race party featuring food, refreshments and plenty of fun. Add in great race swag and professional race photography, and you have a Friday night worth hustling for.
