ABOUT US
The Hmong Heritage Run 5K was established in April 2023 as a collaborative effort between the Hmong community in North Carolina and our current fiscal sponsor, Arts Culture Catawba, a DBA of the United Arts Council of Catawba County. This event creates a space to share Hmong culture, promote health and well-being, and introduce the broader public to who the Hmong people are. We want to connect today’s generations while strengthening relationships with the broader community. Learn more about us at facebook.com/hhr5k.
