About this race

The Horseshoe Crab Hustle is back for another run.  It's once again hosted by Bethany Brewing Company to benefit the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays, again this year it's a 10k Mile Run and a 1.5 Mile Fun Walk.  The event begins and ends at Bethany Brewing Company and will primarily take place on the trails of Fresh Pond State Park.  Registrants will not only enjoy a fall run/walk surrounded by the beauty of nature, but they will enjoy fresh brewed craft beers, tasty post-race fare, fresh shucked oysters, live music, raffles to benefit the Bays, and loads of fun all while supporting the mission of the Center to protect, restore, and preserve the Inland Bays.  The Center will also have information tables about their various projects & programs, and you can learn all about how to 'get on board with the bays.'  Race in one of the few 10k's left in the State of Delaware for a great cause.
