About

GCS Harvest Classic 5K takes place in Kings Mountain, North Carolina on October 24, 2026. There is one distance, a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 8:00 a.m.

An early start on a fall weekend leaves the rest of the day open, which is part of why the 5K remains the most entered distance in the country. Preparation scales to your goal: to finish, three runs or walks a week for a month; to run a personal best, add one weekly session of intervals at 5K effort and cut back slightly in the final week. Whichever you are doing, arrive early enough to jog 10 minutes and run a few short accelerations — a cold opening mile costs more time than any workout will ever gain you.
