About the race
Hiester Cares 5K Run-Walk to Prevent is held in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina, on the campus of Fuquay Varina High School. The 5K course runs entirely on campus, mostly on broad sidewalks, and is USATF-certified. The event has drawn more than 500 runners in the past three years and has raised over $250,000 for suicide-prevention causes.
Proceeds benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Participants receive a race T-shirt and swag bag, with awards for the top 3 overall men and women and in several age groups. The Hiester Cares Foundation organizes the race, which is timed by Run The East. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
