2024 fastest runner Isaac Prescott cruises out of Willard’s Woods

The second annual Hill Country Hustle is happening on Sunday, September 7 at 1:00 pm in Lincoln, VT. This is a low waste and relaxed event that will not include bibs or official timing but will include lots of fun with neighbors. There will be 2 mile and 10k (6-7 miles) options, and both routes will start and end at the Lincoln Sports field. Surfaces are a mix of grass, single track trail, pavement, and dirt road. Route descriptions are below.

This event will include prizes, healthy snacks, and Lincoln Gen Store creemes. Details will be forthcoming.

Registration is FREE but please consider a donation to help Lincoln Sports make needed and expensive repairs to the town tennis court, which is free for all to use. Last year, Hill Country Hustle donations raised $1,600 to help cover repair of the town baseball field. Let’s see if we can do even better this year! We appreciate your help!

2 mile route: Participants will enjoy an exploration through Willard’s Woods on this route that is appropriate for all ages. From the Lincoln Sports field, participants will follow volunteers and cones to head south on River Rd to the entrance of Willard’s Woods. Participants will complete a loop in Willard’s Woods and make their way back to Lincoln Sports.

10k route: Participants will complete a scenic loop through South Lincoln, cruising along the New Haven River and then taking in big views of Mt Abe. Leaving Lincoln Sports field, the route travels from River Rd -> South Lincoln Rd -> Ripton Rd -> York Hill Rd -> Browns Rd -> Gove Hill Rd.
