Guards or Inmates...Who Won?!

Coming into the 2026 Hustle, The Inmates held a commanding 5-3 lead in the Guards v. Inmates Challenge presented by Richland Public Health. Another win by the Inmates could present the opportunity for a RIOT, but if the Guards could pull off an unprobeable win, that would create an epic matchup in 2027 where the Guards could finally pull back to even!

The Final Score was CLOSE! 238-221 means that just 17 Hustlers made the difference...but which team had 238 runners beat The Warden? Find out THIS FRIDAY at 5:30pm on this site during our Facebook LIVE event. We'll announce the winning team and pull 10 names at random from that team to win a FREE pair of SKECHERS Aero Spark shoes courtesy of Second Sole Ohio and SKECHERS!

While we wait, let's talk some trash! Who do you think won?
