Harvest Hustle Fall Classic (5K Run/Walk)

About the Event

The Harvest Hustle Fall Classic 5K will be held Saturday October 10th, 2026. This event has continued to grow over the years and is a long-standing part of Lowell's Harvest Festival. The FOCUS of this event is to encourage families to lead healthy and active lives together. There is no better way to kick off a weekend of celebration than with a little exercise! So lace up your shoes and get ready for the Harvest Hustle 5K Run / Walk.

WE WILL HAVE CHIP TIMING AGAIN THIS YEAR!! After the great response in 2026, we have decided to again use chip timing!

The race will take place in the SAME location as it did in 2025, starting near the North Grand River Riverfront Park in the East side of the parking lot of Impact Church, progress on the Lowell Area Trailway, through both the North and South Grand River Riverfront Parks, crossing over (twice!) the beautiful Lowell Wooden Footbridge. The course has some asphalt and some gravel.

18 and under- $20

Adults- $35* (*if two adults in a family register, children of that family may participate at a substantial discount!) Please contact Barb Hoogenboom directly at hoogenbb@gvsu.edu to request a family discount.

Packet Pickup will occur on Friday, October 9th, from 4:30-6 PM at Ivy Rehabilitation in Lowell, and the morning of the race, from 7:30-8:15am near the starting area.
