Event Description:

The Harvard Cross Country Team is collaborating with the The City of Harvard to host the first annual Hornet Hustle. A Lions Park 5K Fun Run & Cross Country Fundraiser. A community event to support our local cross country programs and celebrate the exciting expansion of the walking path at Lions Park!

On April 11th, 2026, Lions Park and The City of Harvard are partnering to extend the current walking path, creating even more space for fitness, family time, and outdoor fun. We will kick off the project during our 5K event with a special ceremony hosted in collaboration with The City of Harvard. This event will be for competitive runners, casual joggers, or those who want to walk for a cause. This event is for everyone!
