About the event
Registration will open on Monday, May 17 - exactly 2 months before the July 17 race date. We are confident that we will hold a live race on July 17 although the exact venue is not yet finalized. The City of Winston-Salem has not yet issued a road race permit and Wake Forest University has not yet said that we can hold the event at our usual venue in front of Bridger Field House. While we are hopeful these approvals will be forthcoming, we are putting continency plans in place to move the race venue if necessary.
If we change plans after you register, you may request a refund. Registration fees will be refundable up until one month prior to the race with the assumption that our race plans will be finalized by that time.
We are offering registration for both live and virtual races. We hope you will mark July 17, 2021 on your calendars and plan to join --either in person or virtually for this great event. Run it for our charity partners. Run it for community health. Run it to cross your own finish line!
We will be hosting the NC-USATF 5K Championship for NC elite runners. Prize money will offered -- the amounts are still being finalized. Elite runners should contact the race director at [email protected] for elite entry standards.
COVID precautions will be in place consistent with government regulations and the advice of public health officials at the time of the event. Read more here.
