From the Organizer
Shine bright at the Mission 5K! This race was originally produced from 2011 until 2018 and was hosted in downtown Winston-Salem. We are thrilled to be offering this amazing race in the Clemmons community! This event features a chip-timed 5K run and 1 mile fun run. The course is FLAT, fast, and closed to vehicular traffic. A portion of proceeds benefit Good Works Engine (formerly Mission: Feet First), a 501c3 that benefits those in need in our local community.
Mission: Feet First, now Good Works Engine: Shoe charity founded in 2010 by Emily & Keith Davis, owners of Fleet Feet Winston-Salem and Clemmons. Every year this ministry fits over 1,000 homeless and local children for proper fitting running shoes. There are many in need in our local community! Good Works Engine partners with local charities to provide a PROPER fitting pair of shoes to thousands in need annually. Your race registration provides for others in our own community!
