The Purpose

THE Race and THE Fest that make up the North Carolina Spring Classic is more than just an community event. It’s a celebration. The Race portion, which kicks off the day promotes the mission of the Holly Springs Runners’ Project – the organizing body behind the event. It promotes local health and fitness while introducing participants to the parks, greenways, and neighborhoods of Holly Springs. The Festival which follows shortly afterwards is more of a community party filled with music, local vendors, kids activities, art, and other interests to bring everyone together.

The funds raised from the North Carolina Springs Classic are put right back into the community – supporting the Holly Springs Parks & Recreation department, our local service organizations, providing racing chairs to disabled athletes, and supporting our local high school track & field athletes.
