    Family & Stroller Friendly Event

    The HAST 5K is a family-friendly community event with runners and walkers of all ages. You don’t have to be a runner to participate – you are most welcome to walk the course and strollers are most welcome! We do ask that strollers cue up at the back of the group. If you are not interested in your time, please choose the “untimed” 5k event.
