Warren Rives Heart to Heart 5K

Warren Rives Heart to Heart 5K is held in High Point, North Carolina, on November 14, 2026, with a 5K (3.1 miles) starting at 9:30 AM. It is a community event that supports Heart Strides, a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program offering heart-health education, supervised fitness sessions, and nutrition guidance to people recovering from a cardiac or pulmonary event. A kids' run is also part of the day, with children running around the bases at Rockers Stadium.

Given the cause, this 5K is as welcoming to walkers and people rebuilding their fitness as it is to regular runners. If you are returning to exercise after a health setback, follow your medical team's guidance and build up gradually with short walks that grow over several weeks. Runners can treat it as a solid tempo effort or an end-of-season time trial. The 9:30 AM start leaves room for breakfast and a warm-up. Bringing kids for the stadium run makes it a family morning, with the adults' 5K and the children's lap around the bases on the same day.
