Run For Holland 10K Event Details
The Run For Holland 10K is an event held in Spruce Pine, North Carolina, at 200 E Tappan St. It is scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026.
Purpose and Cause
The event's stated purpose is to raise community awareness about Down Syndrome and other disabilities. It specifically aims to support parents who have had or are having a child born with a physical or mental disability. The organizers wish to convey that having a child with a disability can be "the beginning of a wonderfully different, more fulfilling world." The event name and mission are inspired by the short story "Welcome to Holland" by Emily Perl Kingsley.
Funds raised are directed back into the local disabled community through a grant program for organizations, schools, and educators.
