Event Description
Join us for a Fall morning run in beautiful Happy Valley, NC. This 5k course is a point to point that cuts through the scenic valley and meanders along the Yadkin River before finishing at Happy Valley Filling Station. Considered the "country cousin" to Southern Sundown 4 Miler, this race is more rural, flatter and faster than SS4M but shares the same fun vibe and celebration of the running community. You will want to be a part of this inaugural event!
Register by October 7 at noon to reserve your size in the long sleeve high-performance, moisture wicking shirt with the custom Inaugural Happy Valley Humdinger logo! (Shirt design coming soon!)
Parking will be provided at the starting line for registered runners. A courtesy shuttle will run from the finish line at Happy Valley Filling Station to the start line beginning at 10:45 am to return runners back to their vehicles. Runners are encouraged to stay and enjoy the after race entertainment, Kids Fun Run Presented By UNC Ortho, awards and of course, Happy Valley Filling Station craft beer and wood fired pizza! The shuttle will run every 15 minutes until 1:00 pm.
*Every registered runner (21+) for the Happy Valley Humdinger receives a full pour of a Happy Valley Filling Station craft beer after the race!
