About the Event

REGISTRATION OPENS DECEMBER 1ST!

Join us for the 2026 Run the Creek 5K and Family Fun Run on Saturday, February 28!

This exciting event offers a Family Fun Run starting at 8:30 am and a 5K road race starting at 9:00 am. Both events wind through the beautiful (and hilly!) Highland Creek neighborhood.

We believe in community, and this family-friendly initiative welcomes participants of all ages and paces, ensuring everyone can join in the fun!

Your participation supports Highland Creek's six public schools: Highland Creek Elementary School, Cox Mill Elementary School, Ridge Road Middle School, Harris Road Middle School, Mallard Creek High School, and Cox Mill High School.

Register by February 8 to be guaranteed a t-shirt for the 5K!

(Please note: the Family Fun Run does not include a t-shirt)
