The Hmong Heritage Run 5K starts at 7:45 AM, so plan your arrival the evening before if you're driving into Vale, North Carolina. Despite the race name, the actual event on course is a 1-mile run held at Hart Square Village. Entry costs $20. This early morning start works well if you want to finish and explore the area or head to other commitments that day. Vale is a small community in North Carolina's piedmont region, so book accommodation accordingly and allow extra time for directions to the venue if you're unfamiliar with the area.
