Lace up for the second annual Hustle for Hope, a heartwarming and invigorating race event returning to Naples, FL, on February 21, 2026. Offering distances for every pace, including a 10K, 5K, and a family-friendly 1 Mile, this event takes place within the scenic North Collier Regional Park. Runners can anticipate a "fast and flat" trail course, perfect for chasing personal bests or enjoying a leisurely stroll through the park's natural beauty. Typical race day conditions in late February promise pleasant weather, with highs around 78°F and lows around 60°F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, ensuring comfortable running.

More than just a race, the Hustle for Hope is a community-focused fundraiser dedicated to supporting The Salvation Army's vital social services in Collier County. Every step you take helps provide essential resources like food, housing, and utility assistance to those in need. Participants will be timed by AccuChip Race Timing, receive an event shirt, a race bib, and a well-deserved finisher medal upon crossing the finish line. Post-race, celebrate your accomplishment with complimentary food and refreshments at the Hustle for Hope tent.

This family-friendly event welcomes participants of all ages and fitness levels, with the 1 Mile walk even featuring a special "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" theme. While specific on-course aid station details are not extensively published, the overall atmosphere is consistently praised, with one past participant calling it "an amazing race." Join fellow runners and walkers at North Collier Regional Park, with race day check-in beginning at 7:00 AM before the official 8:00 AM start, for a day of exercise, camaraderie, and meaningful contribution to the community.
