Happy Hour Hustle
The Happy Hour Hustle is a series of five Thursday evening 5k races held across the Greater Manchester, New Hampshire region from May through September. Each week takes place at a different venue and supports a local charity.
Week venues and beneficiaries include Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester benefiting Girls on the Run; North Londonderry Park & Ride benefiting the Animal Rescue League; Pembroke Pines Country Club benefiting Pembroke Action League for Schools (PALS); North Elementary School in Londonderry benefiting Wesley's Way Foundation; and McIntyre Ski Area in Manchester benefiting Legal Aid New Hampshire Campaign for Legal Services.
Race day bib pick-up is available at the registration tent. Parking arrangements vary by venue: ample city parking is noted downtown, parking is available at the park and ride and along Jacks Bridge Road with limited spaces, Pembroke Pines and North School offer on site parking, and McIntyre has parking plus an additional lot at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church; carpooling is recommended where parking is limited.
There are no aid stations or water on course so participants should bring their own supply. Two port o johns will be on site and cups of water will be available at the finish. Results are published online by the organizer and, because of time trial starts, are recorded as net time only. Free digital race photos are posted 2 to 3 business days after each race. Each finish counts as 3.1 miles toward the Elliot Millennium Running Series and completing at least three qualifying events totaling 26.2 miles earns the series jacket. Participants registered for all five events by July 31 will receive a series sweatshirt with design and color to be determined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
