Happy Hour Hustle
The Happy Hour Hustle is a five-week series of evening 5k road races held in the Greater Manchester, NH region from May through September. Each week is staged at a different local venue: Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester, North Londonderry Park & Ride, Pembroke Pines Country Club, North Elementary School in Londonderry, and McIntyre Ski Area in Manchester. Each week benefits a local charity associated with that event.
The series uses time-trial starts and results are published as net times on MillenniumRunning.com. There are no aid stations or water provided on course, so participants are expected to carry personal hydration if needed. Two port-o-johns will be available on site and cups of water are provided at the finish. Race-day bib pick-up is available at the registration tent in the hour before each race.
Parking varies by venue: downtown Manchester offers ample city parking, North Londonderry has limited parking with additional roadside options, and McIntyre offers parking near the start plus an alternate lot at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church. A free digital race photo service is provided after each event. The series includes an in-person and a virtual option; virtual entries can submit results and earn mileage toward the Elliot Millennium Running Series, though virtual entries do not receive Delta Dental Points Chase points.
Participants who complete at least three events totaling 26.2 miles count those miles toward the Elliot series jacket. Registrations for all five events completed by July 31 qualify for a series sweatshirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
