From the Organizer
For the sixth consecutive year, Justin will spend his birthday running his age in miles, all to raise money and awareness for HOPE of Winston Salem! Like the last three years, there will be a 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run to take place as Justin runs laps around the loop at Kimberley Park. We will also have a 49 mile Relay - so grab some friends and share the fun!
As always, you can sign up for the 49 mile "Fun Run" to go the full distance!
This year's after party will be the best yet, so stick around after the race for food, drink, fellowship and giveaways!
The Course is a .55 mile crushed gravel trail loop at Kimberley Park, just outside of downtown Winston Salem. 5Kers will run a little under 6 laps and 10Kers will run just over 11 laps. Each race will start at different times to allow people to spread out.
This is a family event complete with prizes, giveaways, and fellowship. Prizes will be awarded for Top Overall Female and Male finishers. Food and snacks will be available on site to help you fuel up post-race. All proceeds directly support our weekly distributions of nutritious meals and fresh fruits and vegetables for food-insecure children and families right here in Winston-Salem. Find out more about HOPE here. To donate directly to HOPE, click here and enter in "49 Miles of HOPE" in the additional info box.
Come support HOPE and celebrate Justin's birthday at this unique event!
