Hickory Crawdads & Fleet Feet Hickory Home Run Trot 5k 2026

The Home Run Trot 5k is a recurring 5k in Hickory, North Carolina, organized by Fleet Feet Hickory and associated with the Hickory Crawdads name. It is part of the store’s regular race calendar, not a standalone event. The concept is straightforward: a local road 5k linking Hickory’s running store with its baseball scene. Fleet Feet Hickory also organizes Thursday group runs, coffee runs at Taste Full Beans, XC Fit Nights, and a local running club, placing this race within a wider community running schedule. While specific race details are limited, it likely attracts the typical participants of Fleet Feet events: consistent local runners, individuals new to running through store programs, and those seeking a simple 5k connected to a well-known Hickory sports entity.
