The Haw Creek Community Association is hosting our second annual 5k race, the Haw Creek Hustle, on Saturday, May 17. Join us at Charlie Bullman Park for a celebratory fun run, a timed 5k race, and the post-race celebration. This event is intended to bring the community together, not just to hustle, but also to socialize with neighbors, meet new friends, enjoy some fresh air, and make lasting memories.
Runners will be entertained by the Haw Creek Pickers performing on the front lawn of St. John's Episcopal Church during the race. Neighbors are welcome to enjoy the music and cheer on the racers.
HCCA is working with Glory Hound Events to ensure a fun and successful event. They are handling registration and all race information is available on their Haw Creek Hustle page.
The race fees are $40 5K run and $10 Fun Run. Please register online.
If you'd like to support this community event but don't feel like participating in the race, you can register and just not run the race or you can make a donation. All the event proceeds will go to HCCA and support our work in the community.
Race sponsor 'We Trade' is collecting gently used shoes and sneakers at the race. Please bring those donations to their table.
All 5K runners will receive a custom race shirt. Fun runners will receive a fun prize at the finish line. Water and light snacks will be provided near the finish line. Please bring your own water bottle to fill to minimize environmental impact.
The awards ceremony for the 5K race will take place at approximately 10:15 am near the finish area. Special prizes will be presented to the top three overall male and female and top masters (40 and over) male and female. Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female finishers in various age groups, including 12 and under. Lots of awards mean lots of fun!
Don't forget to bring cash to buy a ticket for the HCCA raffle with the drawing held during the race awards ceremony.
Races like this can't happen without great volunteers. If you would like to be part of this event and be there for the runners and walkers, then please volunteer for any of the available spots.
