The Durant Dusk Hustle 1 Mile and 5K Run/walk takes place in Durant, Iowa, United States on August 14th at Jaycee Park, just off Main Street near the downtown area. Race morning at Jaycee Park offers a serene setting. The park is nestled among trees with a jogging trail that winds through manicured paths and open green spaces. Participants can expect to see local residents out for their own early-morning jogs or walks before the event kicks into gear, creating an atmosphere of community spirit as everyone gets ready. The Durant Dusk Hustle has been running since 2014, making it a well-established tradition in the region. This year marks its twelfth edition, with over 350 participants expected to take part across both distances. The event supports local scholarships and aims to promote fitness within the community while celebrating its small-town charm. The course venue is largely on hard and dry surface paths at Jaycee Park, making it suitable for a variety of runners and walkers. For those who opt for the 5K race, they will start from the main entrance and follow the loop around the park before finishing back where they started. The 1 Mile option features similar terrain but covers less ground. The weather on August 14th is forecasted to be comfortably warm with an average temperature of 22.5°C (72°F). There's a slight chance of light rain, which could make the trail conditions slightly slick by race time, especially if there has been any recent precipitation. The humidity will likely feel heavy at around 76%, and participants should anticipate some wind gusts averaging between 10-14 km/h (6-9 mph). Despite these factors, it promises to be a pleasant morning for those braving the elements. The race offers both 5K and 1 Mile distances. The 5K is exactly 3.2 kilometers while the 1 Mile option measures precisely 1.6 kilometers.

About Durant
