WHAT IS THE NEW 2020 CHICAGO HOT CIDER HUSTLE?
The Chicago Hot Cider Hustle is a beloved fall tradition. This year the tradition continues as a virtual event. Instead of having a mass gathering event, runners can race the course on their own or run virtually anywhere on a date of their choosing between September 18th – November 8th.
Here’s how it works:
1. Register for the Chicago Hot Cider Hustle Half Marathon, 10K & 5K and on your own, run your favorite course or choose to the official race course.
2. Get your commemorative event gear mailed straight to your door and select a day from September 18th – November 8th to conquer your half marathon, 10K or 5K on your own. Be sure to print your race bib before heading out on your run!
3. If you choose to run the official course route at Montrose Harbor, you can follow the route using Strava and MapMyRun or get turn-by-turn voice directions using RunGo. You can also download and print out the map from the “Course Map” accordion below. If you choose to run the distance virtually on your own on a course of your choosing, use your favorite tracking app or watch to keep track of your finish time.
4. After completing the official race route or running the course on your own, upload your results to the official leader board and share your experience on our event page to get kudos from our online community of fellow runners (we’re all here to support each other)! Be sure to use #HotCiderHustle.

WHAT YOU GET

Each participant receives a long sleeved t-shirt, online results, digital bib and digital finisher certificate. Mug and medal are available as add-ons during registration.
