UPCOMING EVENTS IN 2026
48 Miles for H.O.P.E. 5k/10k/48 Miler/Relay/ 1 Miler Walk Run
Our 6th Annual Miles for HOPE – For the fifth 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 two 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. For the First time, there will be a RELAY option, so gather up to 6 friends and run the full 48 relay-style.
As always, you can sign up for the 48 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 benefit HOPE of Winston Salem and help curb food insecurity for many families in Forsyth County.
