According to Feeding America, 1,627,360 people in North Carolina — including 438,200 children — face hunger, and during the holiday season, many North Carolina households rely on food assistance to make ends meet. Food banks and shelters often experience a spike in demand toward year’s end, as families contend with increased utility bills, gift-related expenses, and disrupted income over the festive season.
In past years, the Elf Classic event has served as a meaningful bridge between athletic performance and community impact. Organizers encourage every athlete to bring a non-perishable food item on race day, which will be sorted and distributed through local food pantries supported by Human Health Project. This dual model ensures that even those who cannot give financially may contribute tangible support to those in need.
The Human Health Project is known for issuing grants and directing supplies to food shelters across the region. With a formal beneficiary status, it will receive a portion of race registration revenues and the collected food items, explains Epic Sports Marketing.
Organizers note that weather and timing challenges of winter running make the Elf Classic uniquely compelling and turnout is expected to be high. Participants will run through scenic routes around Lake Norman, carrying not only their own goals but also the chance to uplift neighbors facing food insecurity.
With the beneficiary confirmed, Epic Sports Marketing is now focusing on maximizing the impact that this event can make. From outreach to local businesses to volunteer coordination, every aspect of the Elf Classic will reflect a commitment to combining physical challenge with compassionate giving over the holiday season.
As registration opens, organizers emphasize that the Elf Classic is more than a race: it is a vessel for community solidarity, elevating the spirit of charity alongside athletic endeavor.
Participants, volunteers, and local partners are urged to embrace the dual purpose of health and giving that lies at the heart of this winter’s event. Runners can register for the race and find out more information at https://epicsportsmarketing.com/lake-norman-half-marathon-elf-classic-5k
