River Hawk Races

River Hawk Races 2026
Saturday, April 18, 2026

The Mount Holly Community Development Foundation is excited to introduce the River Hawk Races where the powerful strength of the Catawba River have inspired us to revamp our Mount Holly 5K/10K. As we reimagine the limits of how far we can soar, join us in celebrating our city's connection to nature with the flow of Mount Holly's greenway along the Catawba River.

Whether you are ready to break your personal best, running for your health, or just want to have fun we invite you to join the fearless spirit of the hawk and fly across the finish line. With our wings spread we are proud to join you in the currents that will continue to carry us toward greater horizons.
