MILES FOR HOPE – RUN 47 with Justin Bailey on Saturday, January 25th, 2025

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. In addition, there is an option for a 47 mile “Fun Run” to go the full distance!

To register for a run, click the hyperlink above or click here. Contact us at info@hopews.org for details on sponsorship opportunities!

The Course is a .55 mile crushed gravel trail 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 support our efforts to distribute nutritious meals to children in need and fresh fruits and vegetables to hundreds of families struggling with food insecurity right here in Winston-Salem.
