Nach dem Lauf verwandelt sich die Wilmington Street in ein Straßenfest mit lokalen Anbietern, Essen, Musik, traditionellen Tänzern, Familienaktivitäten, Día de los Muertos Altären und einem Kostümwettbewerb. Das Event findet dieses Jahr zum vierzehnten Mal statt und gilt lokal als echte Raleigh-Tradition.

Registration is straightforward and affordable, with distinct entry fees for the 5K and the children's race. Participants receive a soft, traditional beanie for race morning. The event also encourages runners to bring canned goods for a local food bank, extending the holiday spirit beyond the event's name. The 5K route exits the park, proceeds south to Shepard Lane, then heads west towards 1500 West.

The course then loops back past the start area, concluding with a grass loop within the park.

The Holly Springs Half Marathon, 10K & 5K begins near the stadium at Ting Park, within the North Main Athletic Complex in Holly Springs, North Carolina. This annual road race offers half marathon, 10K, and 5K distances, along with ruck divisions for each. The course presents runners with a combination of rolling hills, flatter sections, neighborhood streets, greenway trails, and a run down Main Street, avoiding a monotonous out-and-back on empty pavement. All races start with a descent from Ting Park toward North Main Street, then encounter the rolling hills of Anchor Creek in the initial mile before reaching Middle Creek Greenway. The half marathon proceeds south through Bridgewater, Windcrest, Sunset Ridge, Veterans Park, Jones Park, the historic district, Main Street, and Womble Park. In Womble Park, participants navigate a figure-eight loop before rejoining the greenway around mile seven. The half marathon then follows Middle Creek Greenway for approximately five miles, with turnarounds at both extremities, before returning via Anchor Creek Way for the final mile to the finish. The 10K and 5K share the same initial section and enter Middle Creek Greenway, providing shorter-distance runners a sample of the varied terrain.
