5 events in Huntersville, North Carolina

We’re reviving the legendary HFFA race series starting with a 5K, and this year we’re bringing the energy, the competition, and the community spirit back to Huntersville in a BIG way.

This isn’t just a race — it’s an experience.

Whether you’re chasing a PR, running your first 5K, walking with friends, or pushing a stroller, the HFFA 5K is designed for every pace and every person. We’re inviting the entire Huntersville community to show up, lace up, and be part of something special.
