The Hmong Heritage Run 5K (HHR 5K) is a collaborative effort by Hmong NC locals and Hart Square Foundation to bridge the cultural generational gap and foster community connections through physical activity. This event provides a platform for dialogue between young and old about the rich Hmong culture, promoting health and wellness while educating the wider community. Participants will embark on a journey that traces the Hmong story from western China through Southeast Asia. This race is unique because participants will experience significant historical events as they race the scenic trails. Register now for a meaningful run celebrating Hmong culture and creating lasting memories!

The proceeds from this event will support cultural preservation efforts, allowing our local Hmong community to continue sharing the special arts and traditions that are an integral part of their identity and family histories. This partnership is part of an initiative by Hart Square Foundation to preserve and share an inclusive cultural heritage that represents the population of our modern and diverse Appalachian region.
