The Hive Hustle, organized by Kate Fuller, owner of The Hive and Lookout Liquors, was held on a surprisingly beautiful morning in early March. The 5K run and a one-mile fun-run/walk raises money for the mountain schools, including Lookout Mountain Elementary, Fairyland Elementary, Mother’s Day Out at the Presbyterian Church, and Good Shepherd School.
The race started on Scenic Highway at the Commons’ tennis courts and went up the hill, behind the stores, then turned right at Massey’s Kitchen before heading south on Lula Lake and proceeding to the Fairyland Mountain Hall in Lookout Mountain, Ga., and returning back to the Commons.
Over 170 folks participated, including lots of kids, strollers and/or dogs. Good natured competitiveness abounded, as did comradery amongst those who were participating for a great cause - our schools! Everyone was a winner, but the official winners included 5K male winners: Kent Wingfield, 21:17; Troy Green, 21:54; Carlton Stewart, 24:34; and 5K female winners: Laura Cothern 21:54; Madison Templeton, 25:01:32; Ashley Whobrey 25:01:64; and Fun Run male winners: Sam Stewart; Greer Hewitt; Bap Ashe; and Fun Run female winners: Tallulah Fuller; Twiggs Hall; and Ella Hewitt.
This fun, community-building event raised over $12,000 for the schools this year, thanks to all the people who participated. Of course, Kate thanked the sponsors who also helped immensely, including Buddy Presley Law Firm, Lookout Mountain Physical Therapy, Rock City, DownRight Plumbing, Chick fil A, UBS, Yates and Wheland, Ruby Falls, TU Parks, Rebekah Hughes and Chrissy Jones Real Estate Partners, Market on the Mountain, Southern Surgical Arts, Massey’s Kitchen, The Lookout Mountain Mirror, Frios, and Tazikis.
Thank you, Kate, for all your hard work! The 2025 Hive Hustle was great!
