Hamburg Hustle

Experience the inaugural Hamburg Hustle Trail Race this fall! Set against the backdrop of Hamburg State Park's picturesque landscape, runners will embark on an invigorating 5K journey that winds through lush trails adorned with muscadine vines. The race starts near the park’s historic grist mill and museum before descending along lakeside paths where stunning views of the lake and campground await.
Midway through the course, participants reach a well-equipped aid station offering water, snacks, and refreshments to fuel their return journey. As runners loop back towards the starting point, they will navigate trails that meander past serene woodland areas filled with natural beauty. The race promises an engaging mix of terrain challenges, including roots and rocks, making it essential for participants to stay alert.
Race day amenities include complimentary coffee, snacks, and fruit at the start area, ensuring runners are well-prepared before setting off on their adventure. Early registrants can secure a commemorative shirt by signing up before September 1st.
Proceeds from this event support "Friends of Hamburg State Park," an invaluable volunteer group dedicated to enhancing park activities year-round. For those interested in contributing further through volunteering or membership, contact the park office at 478-552-2393 for details.
Please note that each vehicle must display a valid Georgia state park pass; these can be purchased on-site if needed. This trail-only race is open to all runners looking for an exhilarating challenge amidst nature’s beauty.
Participants are reminded of the natural elements present along the course and should exercise caution accordingly.
