3 walking events in Troutman, North Carolina

The Hearts to A.C.E. 5K Run/Walk is designed to support both heart health and local students. All proceeds go toward the A.C.E. Scholarship, which helps Iredell-Statesville Schools (ISS) seniors who have overcome serious challenges, such as physical difficulties, language barriers, child abuse, delinquency, or substance abuse. These students are known as A.C.E.'s—Accepting the Challenge of Excellence.

By joining the run/walk, you help encourage these seniors as they graduate in 2026 and continue to strive for excellence in their lives because anything less may send them back into their serious challenges.

All participants who register by February 8, 2026, will receive a swag bag, T-shirt, and participation medal. Teams are welcome. Same-day registration will be available. Awards will be given for the overall top three male and female runners, as well as medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in each age category for both males and females.

Packet Pick-up: You can pick up your packet on race day or in advance on Saturday, February 21, from 1:00–3:00 PM at the Troutman ESC Park Pavilion, 338 North Avenue, Troutman, NC 28166.
