First things first - we are so excited to announce that the 2022 Hilltop U.S.A. 5K Registration is now OPEN and the race will be IN-PERSON! We also have a virtual option for July 2nd - 4th.
This event benefits Veterans on the Hilltop and provides an opportunity for exercise and community togetherness. Last year, we raised a record-breaking $6,190.25 for our hometown veterans.
$25 for our super comfy race shirts, gorgeous 4" medals highlighting the United States Air Force, and a chance for finisher prizes?! We want our race to be accessible to all residents, and so have worked with our local business partners to be able to offer pricing that is a little less than a typical 5K.
The famous Hilltop U.S.A. race shirts and medals are BACK! All participants will receive a race shirt and all finishers will receive a fantastic custom Hilltop U.S.A. finisher medal.
