Horseshoe Crab Hustle 2026

The Horseshoe Crab Hustle starts and finishes at Bethany Brewing Company in Bethany Beach, Delaware, with most of the running on the trails of Fresh Pond State Park. It is a fall event featuring a 10K run and a 1.5-mile fun walk, suitable for runners seeking a longer trail effort and those preferring a casual pace. Bethany Brewing Company hosts the event, benefiting the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays. Following the run and walk, participants receive craft beer, post-race food, fresh-shucked oysters, live music, and raffles that generate funds for the bays. The Center also provides information about its projects and programs, linking the race-day crowd with efforts to protect, restore, and preserve Delaware’s Inland Bays.
