About
Hearts of Hope 5k - NC takes place in Wendell, North Carolina, on November 14, 2026. The event is a single road 5K, listed as the Hearts of Hope Community 5k, starting at 8:30 AM. The community label suggests a race open to runners of every level as well as to walkers, with the standard 3.1-mile distance as the shared goal.
Mid-November 5Ks fit nicely at the end of a fall training block: if you built mileage through September and October, a few weeks of shorter, faster sessions will turn that base into a PR attempt. If you are newer to running, a couch-to-5K style plan of three sessions a week over eight weeks gets you to the line ready to cover the distance. Either way, arrive with time to spare for bib pickup and a short warm-up before the 8:30 AM start.
