Prepare for an invigorating challenge at the 3rd Annual Hustle For Habitat, taking place on Saturday, July 25, 2026, in scenic Pelican Rapids, MN. This event offers a unique 5K experience, known as the Rooster Run 5K, alongside a 1 Mile Strut for those looking for a shorter distance. Hosted by the Pelican River chapter of Pheasants Forever, this race is more than just a run; it's an opportunity to support local habitat conservation projects that protect clean water, air, and soil.

The Rooster Run 5K course is a distinctive blend of trail and gravel, winding through beautiful habitat surrounded by lush farmland, alongside a river, and past vibrant pollinator fields. While primarily a grassy trail run, the 2026 route includes a new section on a gravel road, offering varied terrain for all participants. Runners can anticipate admiring fields, pollinator gardens, and grasslands as they set their pace. Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 84°F and lows around 60°F, with a low 10% chance of precipitation, providing generally favorable running weather. Aid stations will be available along the route, with at least one water stop conveniently located before the gravel road section.

The start and finish line are located at the Dunvilla Trap Range, at 21863 Highway 34, Pelican Rapids. All Rooster Run 5K finishers will receive a medal, and awards will be presented to overall male and female winners, as well as the top three male and female finishers in specified age categories. Registered 5K runners will also receive a newly designed race t-shirt (for those who register by July 16, 2026). Post-race, all participants can enjoy snacks and cold beverages at the finish line, celebrating their efforts in supporting vital habitat conservation.
