THE RACE
A seasonal favorite, the Fall Harvest race has something for every fitness level and age. We start out early with the 10k, followed by an exciting 5k run/walk and then invite the kids to enjoy their very own fun run. This is a road race which permits seasoned runners to lead the pack and blaze to a new time or keep their pace with ease. For those that are just getting into the excitement of racing, our 5k features a mild/moderate course to help you succeed.

At HFFA we never forget the kids, our kids fun run is that and so much more – a 1 mile closed road course with optional early turn for the really young athletes, and included with your registration - a hay dig, fall craft area, hands on games and challenges full of goodies to take home and prizes to be won. If that’s not enough, then go crazy and put together your best Halloween costume and get the weekend’s celebration started early; adult and child’s best costumes to be awarded.

HFFA is located at 11725 Verhoeff Drive, Huntersville NC 28078.
