Ham City Fall Fest 5k Run/Walk

This scenic route showcases the best of our vibrant community and offers a fun, energetic start to your festival day. After crossing the finish line, stick around for a delicious buffet-style breakfast to refuel and celebrate with fellow runners and families. Then, at noon, the Ham City Fall Fest festivities ramp up with food trucks, a lively beer tent, and music all day long—making it a perfect day for everyone to enjoy.
