Hustle for Health Centers 5K

Lace up for a meaningful morning at the 4th Annual Hustle for Health Centers 5K, taking place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, in scenic Columbus, GA. This 5K fun run/walk welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels to the Follow Me Trail on Fort Benning Road, offering an enjoyable and accessible course of approximately 3.13 miles. Typical race day conditions in early August can see highs around 93°F and lows around 74°F, with a slight 14% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but often clear start to the day.

More than just a race, the Hustle for Health Centers 5K is a vibrant celebration of National Community Health Center Week, fostering health, wellness, and local spirit. Runners and walkers will not only enjoy the scenic course but also contribute to a crucial cause, as all proceeds directly benefit Valley Healthcare System's Hope Closet. This vital initiative provides essential resources like toiletries, clothing, hygiene products, and transportation to residents in need within the Tri-City area. The festivities extend beyond the finish line with a lively community block party featuring food, music, games, and valuable local resources, creating a truly memorable experience for everyone involved.
