The Hickory Hustle 5K & 10K Run and Kids Run is back for 2026! Join us in Colfax, Indiana during Ole Hickory Days beginning with a fish fry on Friday, July 31st and continuing Saturday, August 1st, 2026. The 5K and 10K on Saturday, August 1st begins at 8:30am and includes a Kids Run beginning at 9:00am. All participants who sign up by July 12th are guaranteed a shirt.

The theme of the race this year is in memory of Joe Buedel, a long time resident of Colfax, an Elder and Youth Leader at Colfax Christian Church and a member of the Perry Township Volunteer Fire Department as a Volunteer Firefighter/EMT. Joe had been diagnosed with ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) which is a nervous system disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and in July of 2025, after a long fight with ALS, Joe went home to be with his Lord and Savior. The Fire Department wants to bring awareness to ALS and support the Buedel family, specifically his wife who survives him. The Fire Department also wants to honor the life and legacy of Joe and the time and sacrifice he dedicated to the Fire Department as a Firefighter/EMT.

All race proceeds and donations will benefit the Perry Township Volunteer Fire Department and the Buedel Family. Our course is mostly flat and includes a portion of the Big 4 Trail. Runners can register race day morning at the Perry Twp Vol Fire Dept located at 103 W. Main St in Colfax. The starting line is at Fire Station. The finish line is down the street at Colfax Christian Church, 314 S. Clark St.

Following the race hang around and race participants can enjoy a free breakfast at Colfax Christian Church. Breakfast donations are welcome and go to Dorcas Ladies.

    In celebration of Mental Health Awareness Month, this annual 5K run/walk raises awareness for mental health in our community. This year will be our 8th time hosting this race! It is open to anyone who wants to end the silence surrounding mental health and spread the word that it's okay to not be okay. All donations and profits made will be donated to the Buck Up Foundation and other mental health organizations to give back to mental health awareness. In addition, T-shirts are available for purchase as you register, and you have the opportunity to donate directly to this cause. Not only will you get exercise at this event, but also enjoy the available vendors and prizes!

    New for 2026, we are offering a kids' run for any child 12 and under. Your child will need to be registered and will run to the end of the block and back. All kids will receive a medal at the end, and are welcome to walk with parents for the 5k if you wish. The kids' race will line up at 9:30 am and start at 9:45 am on race day.

    This event is in direct partnership with the Buck Up Foundation.
