Merrol Hyde Magnet School Athletic Booster Club hosts our annual Hawk Walk and Run. This is a yearly fundraiser to help with various support projects for the Athletic Booster Club—supporting all athletic teams at Merrol Hyde.

The Athletic Booster Club helps support our student-athletes in many ways. Our funds help offset player fees for athletic teams, upgrade and maintain athletic facilities throughout our campus, and provide scholarships for graduating student-athletes. The funds we raise are critical to our ability to provide successful athletic programs for our entire K-12 student body.

In order to maximize the registration fee collected for the walk participants, we have opted to not include t-shirts as part of the walk registration fee. T-shirts can be ordered during registration as an optional add-on. This year, we also have long sleeve shirts available! Register before March 1st to ensure size availability. After March 1st, sizes or availability cannot be guaranteed. Children younger than 2 years old do not need to register.

Walk Details:

Join us as we walk the paved trails of Memorial Park in Hendersonville to fundraise and bring CHD awareness to the community. All are invited to join us before and after the walk for festivities! Strollers, wagons and motorized scooters are all welcome. Dogs are also welcome to join, but please be sure to keep them leashed at all times and bring waste bags!

Walk shirts are available for purchase at time of online registration. Shirts will be mailed to virtual participants who are registered by March 1st. Those joining us in person can pick up t-shirts the day of the walk. We are also considering a packet pick-up earlier in the week, so stay tuned for details as the event gets closer!

Parking is conveniently located onsite next to the tennis courts, and it's short walk to the picnic shelter where registration will be held. There will be plenty of signage for you to find us.
