Hud’s Heart 5K & Fun Run
About this race
💙 Hud’s Heart 5K & Fun Run ❤️
Running With Purpose • Honoring Hud • Raising CHD Awareness
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”
— Proverbs 4:23
Join us during American Heart Month for the 4th Annual Hud’s Heart 5K & Fun Run, a purpose-driven community event created to raise awareness for Congenital Heart Defects (CHD) and to honor the life, memory, and lasting legacy of Hud.
This special event brings together runners, walkers, families, and supporters of all ages to move with purpose.
This event is more than a race — it is a mission. Every step taken represents hope for families impacted by CHD, awareness for hearts still fighting, and remembrance for hearts gone too soon. The timed 5K welcomes runners seeking competition or personal achievement, while the Fun Run offers a family-friendly, inclusive option for children, walkers, and supporters of all ages.
Every step taken helps shine a light on CHD, supports families impacted by congenital heart conditions, and keeps Hud’s heart beating through awareness, community, and hope. Whether you’re running for a cause, walking in remembrance, or cheering from the sidelines — your presence matters.
Our Mission:
Hud’s Heart exists to bring light to CHD, support families walking this journey, and turn loss into lasting purpose. Through events like this 5K, we honor Hud by serving others, building community, and reminding the world that even the smallest hearts can leave the biggest impact.
Whether you run, walk, or cheer from the sidelines, you are helping carry Hud’s heart forward — spreading awareness, compassion, and hope.
Together, we can run like a warrior! ❤️💙
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus.” Hebrews 12:1
