Lace up for the Horseshoe Crab Hustle 10K on November 15, 2026, a truly unique event set in the picturesque coastal town of Ocean View, Delaware. This race offers a compelling blend of scenic beauty and a lively post-run celebration, all while supporting the vital work of the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays. Starting and finishing at the vibrant Bethany Brewing Company, the course is a runner's delight, winding through the captivating trails of Fresh Pond State Park.

Known as arguably the "Most Scenic 10k Course in the State," the route immerses participants in nature's finest, featuring a diverse array of woodlands, meadows, and coastal wetlands. Runners will experience a varied terrain, with approximately the first and last half-mile on pavement, transitioning to engaging off-road surfaces, grass, and trails for the middle sections. Typical race day conditions in mid-November bring crisp highs around 58°F and lows near 39°F, with a low chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

The Horseshoe Crab Hustle is more than just a race; it's a community event that culminates in an unforgettable post-run experience right at Bethany Brewing Company. Celebrate your achievement with fresh brewed craft beers, delicious post-race fare, fresh shucked oysters, and live music, along with raffles benefiting the Inland Bays. This event stands out as one of the few 10K distances available in Delaware, offering awards for overall, masters, and various age group champions.
