Description

Race Information

Come out for a fun, family-friendly 5K supporting the Harrison High School Band and the incredible students who bring music, energy, and Hoya pride to our community!

The Hoya & the Hare 5K takes place entirely on the Harrison High School campus, making it a great event for runners, walkers, families, and fans of the band.

And don’t leave your four-legged family members at home! The Hoya & the Hare is dog-friendly, so leash up your favorite pup and bring them along for the fun.

Every registration helps support the Harrison High School Band program and provides opportunities for our student musicians to learn, perform, compete, and represent our community — including on the national stage.

Run. Walk. Wag. Support the Band.
