Harrisburg Hot Cider Hustle
The Harrisburg Hot Cider Hustle is scheduled for November 1, 2026 on City Island in Harrisburg, PA. The event offers chip-timed and fun run categories on a riverfront course that travels along the Susquehanna River and the Capital Area Greenbelt. The course is entirely on paved roads and paths.
Distances:
- 5K

Finish line provisions include a 2026 finisher mug for every participant, hot apple cider, and caramel apples. Participants may choose event gear between a classic t-shirt or an upgraded premium thin-tec 1/4 zip. A 5K/10K finisher medal is available as an add-on.
The event uses timing chips integrated with bib numbers for individual chip timing in the timed categories. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in each age group and overall for the 5K and 10K chip-timed categories. Age groups start at 10 and under and continue in standard ranges up to 70 and older.
Parking is available on City Island; participants and spectators should note that bridge access and parking arrangements are managed for the event.
