Happy Hour Hustle

The Happy Hour Hustle is a five-week series of evening 5k races held in the Greater Manchester, NH region from May to September. Each week takes place at a different local venue and benefits a local charity: Delta Dental Stadium (May 7, 2026), North Londonderry Park & Ride (June 11, 2026), Pembroke Pines Country Club (July 16, 2026), North Elementary School in Londonderry (August 27, 2026), and McIntyre Ski Area (September 17, 2026).

Race day bib pickup and on-site registration are available at each venue. Parking arrangements vary by location; some sites have limited parking and provide alternative parking areas or maps. The Pembroke course follows a rolling, paved cart path. Post-race gatherings are planned at nearby restaurants and bars after several weeks.

There are no aid stations or water on the course, so participants who need water should carry it. Two portable toilets will be on site and cups of water will be available at the finish. Results are published online and are recorded as net time only because starts are time-trial style. Free digital race photos are posted a few business days after each event.

Each 5k finish counts as 3.1 miles toward the Elliot Millennium Running Series; completing at least three events totaling 26.2 miles qualifies for the series jacket. Virtual registrants earn series miles but do not receive points for the Delta Dental Points Chase. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
