The Elkmont Holiday Hustle 10k
The Elkmont Cross-Country and Track program presents the second running of the Elkmont "Holiday Hustle" 10K. The event is part two of a three-part Elkmont race series that also includes the EAC Red Devil 5k and the Elkmont Half Marathon.
Proceeds will support the Elkmont High School cross-country and track program. The race partners with Make A Way and Make A Wish Alabama; a portion of proceeds will go to Make A Wish Alabama. Organizers are collecting new or barely used toys for Make A Way to support the special needs community.
The course uses the Elkmont Rails-to-Trails. The route begins on Upper Fort Hampton at the intersection of High School Road and UFH, proceeds north on Veto for 3.1 miles, continues west on the cut-through at Mill Creek Campground to the Richard Martin Trail, then heads south on the Richard Martin Trail for 3.1 miles, and finishes on the trail at the stairs leading up to Warehouse Pizza.
Parking is free and available at Warehouse Pizza, around downtown Elkmont, and at Elkmont High School. On-site vendors include Traveling Toms Coffee and Warehouse Pizza; Restore Mobility will be available to assist with stretching and injury prevention.
Awards begin after the race ends. Certificates will be given to the top five male and female finishers in each age group, and medals will be awarded to the top three overall male and female finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
