Harvest Hustle Fall Classic (5K Run/Walk)

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 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!)
