πŸƒ Why We Run

The Bearcat Pride 5K directly supports the Anson High School Cross Country Program. Last season, the Bearcats grew to 20 runners, and for the first time in over 15 years, fielded both boys and girls teams. They competed at the Rocky River Conference Meet and Regionals.

With the new Anson Middle School being built next to Anson High School, we hope to one day construct a cross-country course connecting the two campuses, creating a lasting legacy for our runners.

Your support helps us grow opportunities for our student-athletes.

We appreciate your support of Bearcat XC!

Sponsored by the Bearcat Athletics Support Foundation

    Back by popular demand! Union Academy High School Student Council and the Varsity Cross Country team are partnering up with the UA Foundation to put on UA’s first ever Cardinal Color Run. Our color run is a 5-kilometer race where participants are covered in colored powder while running, walking, or jogging. The powder is non-toxic, gluten-free, and safe for people and pets of all ages and it washes away easily. Participants wear white at the starting line and finish the race plastered in color. Fifty percent of the proceeds and all donations will be donated to Victory Junction.

    THINGS TO KNOW:

    • Two age groups: 13+ and 12 & under

    • Race registration deadline is 4/8/26 to lock in price and guarantee a t-shirt

    • Registration after the 4/8/26 deadline will result in price increase of $5 and no guarantee of t-shirt

    A History of HOLLA!

    HOLLA! was founded in 2005 to support education in the Anson County School System. Inspired the by these words of Frederick Douglass, "It is easier to build strong children, than to repair broken men," the organization strives without ceasing to level the playing field for the underprivileged and disenfranchised.

    Realizing that mentoring and tutoring was not quite enough, the founders of the organization sacrificed personal funds to purchase a former hardware store in the rural town of Morven, NC to better serve the community. Thanks to a grant from The Golden Leaf Foundation, they were able to convert the rugged 1920's structure into a modernized resource center, complete with a commercial kitchen, cafe', media center, activity rooms and office spaces. On the outside, the building has a regulation tennis court - the home of The HOLLA! Eagles Tennis Team.

    The facility offers free, phone, fax and other services to the local community. It also hosts mentoring, tutoring, summer camps, after school, cultural and many other community events and meetings.

    We’re excited to announce the 2026 SSgt Jason Hicks Memorial 5k. This race is in its 14th year. All proceeds benefit the SSgt. Jason Hicks Memorial Scholarship Fund. Jason and five other US Air Force Combat Search and Rescue airmen were killed in action while on a humanitarian mission in Afghanistan in 2003 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Since then, the Scholarship has been awarded annually to a graduating senior from Central High School in Pageland, SC, which was Jason’s alma mater.

    Any Central High School graduating senior may apply for the Scholarship. Applicants should demonstrate leadership abilities and community service. A Scholarship application for the current school year can be printed by clicking the application link on this site.

    We would like to thank everyone for their generous contributions to the Scholarship Fund. Your contributions help ensure that the Scholarship, as well as Jason's name, lives on. You may continue to contribute to the Fund by mailing your tax-deductible donation to SSgt Jason Hicks Memorial Scholarship Fund, 19573 Angelus Road, Jefferson, SC 29718.

    This race offers a great course, but it is much more than a race. It is a community event with festivities for the whole family. For more information, visit www.JasonHicksMemorial.com.

    Please continue to support our troops as they protect us!
