Haw Creek Hustle (05/16/2026)

Sat, 16 May 2026 12:30:00 GMT

The Haw Creek Community Association is hosting our third annual 5K race, the Haw Creek Hustle, on Saturday, May 16. 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.

Again this year, 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 $35 5K run or walk and $10 Fun Run until May 1 , when it increases to $40. 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 (select Haw Creek Hustle as the fund type).

All the event proceeds will go to HCCA to support our work in the community, and this year we will be sharing the net receipts with WNCYSA for their Charlie Bullman Park Rebuild Project.

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 purchase a ticket for the HCCA raffle. The drawing will be held during the race awards ceremony. This year's raffle features a great selection of items generously provided by local businesses and community partners—you won't want to miss it!
