Memorial Day 5K Run/Walk Benefits Holly Springs Volunteer Fire Department

This Memorial Day weekend , before heading out to a traditional barbecue with friends and family, start  off at an event to help benefit our own local Holly Springs Volunteer Fire Department (HSVFD).  The 8th annual Memorial Day 5K Run/Walk & 1K Fun Run will take place in Holly Springs on Saturday May 25th.  The race will begin at Holly Springs Elementary School and end at Barrett Memorial Park. The Fun Run will be located at Barrett Memorial Park and consist of two laps around the trail in the park.

HSVFD is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Public Charity and relies on donations and fundraising to support their operations and expenses. The Memorial Day 5K Run/Walk & 1K Fun Run is their largest fundraising event. In light of the race being Memorial Day weekend, 10% of race profits will be donated to a non-profit organization that benefits U.S. military veterans.

Participants can register online until May 23. Race day registration begins at 7 a.m.  New for this year is the ability to register as a Ghost Runner for those who want to support the event but are unable to participate in the actual run.
