Join us for the Hearts of Hope 5K, a student-led community race created by Corinth Holders High School DECA in partnership with OneCompassion. Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, every step helps raise awareness and support for families throughout Johnston County.
Following the success of our 2025 Women of Worth 5K—which raised more than $6,299 and engaged over 3,000 community members—Hearts of Hope continues our mission of bringing people together to create meaningful local change. More than a race, this event is the beginning of a lasting tradition built on compassion, connection, and hope.
All ages and experience levels are welcome. Lace up, bring your friends and family, and help us turn every step into hope for our community!
