The HOLLA! 5K is one of the most exciting events in our region. Scores of people from Anson County and neighboring communities participate in our event each year. With a professionally measured route, we are recruiting competitive runners and walkers as well as fun runners from throughout the region. This is our eighth event and it is packed with fun, valuable prizes, and story-time for the kids! Later that day, enjoy our hybrid event, An Afternoon Literary Escape: A Festival of Words, Cuisine, and Conversation. At this literary festival, attendees will get to mingle with highly esteemed authors in-person, or virtually and browse their books. Open to adults, ages 21 and up, our onsite guests will be served wine and heavy hor d’oeuvres. Our 5K and literary festival support HOLLA!'s literacy and youth programs. Please join us in support of the freedom of literacy!
