Hiester Cares 5K Run-Walk

The Hiester Cares 5K Run-Walk to Prevent is an annual event held in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, on the campus of Fuquay Varina High School. The USATF-certified 5K course primarily follows broad sidewalks within the school grounds, providing a safe and accessible route for participants. This race, organized by the Hiester Cares Foundation, supports the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, having raised over $250,000 with more than 500 runners in recent years.

Participants receive a race t-shirt and swag bag, and awards are given to the top three overall men and women, as well as top finishers in multiple age groups. The event fosters a community atmosphere focused on awareness and prevention. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
