Feet for the Street 5K

The Feet for the Street 5K, was created to raise awareness and much needed financial support for the Winston-Salem Street School, a private, nonprofit alternative educational option for at-risk high school students in the Forsyth County area. The Street School combines small class sizes, caring, individualized attention, and an unwavering belief that the students we serve, when given a second chance, can not only thrive in high school, but be better prepared for success in life as well. 

In the last 18 years, 300 students have overcome personal issues and learning difficulties to graduate and receive an accredited high school diploma from the Street School. These are students who many had little hope for and who in most cases, had very limited expectations for themselves before coming to the Street School. Since the Street School is a nonprofit organization, your support directly impacts our ability to provide life-changing services for our students. By participating in events like the Feet for the Street 5K, you are making a difference!

This year, we are excited to add a 7 miler to our event! This course will take runners around the loop that circles beautiful Salem Lake. Thanks to our Presenting Sponsor, prize money will be up for grabs for the top male and female finishers of the 5K and 7 Miler events. This race is now truly an event for all levels of participants, from those who love a little exercise to the serious competitive runners looking to win some money for their hard work.
