The team with the most people registered by 4/17/2024 will win a prize! Be sure to share your team password so that others can join your group.

Event Details

The HOWA 5K theme is STARS in our HEARTS. Participants are able to run/walk in memory or in honor of the STAR in their HEART. Signs will be available for participants to individualize and wear pinned to the back of their shirts throughout the day. Participants may also put the name of their loved one on the STARS in our HEARTS display board.

There will be something for everyone. Enjoy shopping with local vendors, live music, face painting, and children’s activities. Also, participants will be eligible to win awards and will be entered into a drawing for door prizes. Make plans to join us for a morning of exercise, fun, and remembrance.

All are invited to share in this special day and we hope you will join us in making this year’s HOWA 5K the biggest and best ever!
