Each year, the city gives the proceeds of the race to a local non-profit organization. This year, the city is proud to support Friends of Holly Springs Police Foundation, Inc., whose mission is to enhance the performance of the Holly Springs Police Department through the guidance and financial support of community partners.

Registration is $25 through May 22, and $30 on the day of the race. Those interested can pre-register on Active.com. Further details, including the race route and mail-in registration forms, can be found online.

A part of the Black Bag race series, awards will be given for overall male and female, masters male and female and three deep in 15 age groups ranging from 10 and under to 75 and over.

At the conclusion of the race, a 1K Fun Run will be held for children ages 12 and under. For more information, contact Erin Honea at 770-345-5536.
