49 Miles of HOPE

The event raises money and awareness for HOPE of Winston Salem while a runner marks his birthday by running his age in miles. Proceeds support weekly distributions of nutritious meals and fresh fruits and vegetables for food-insecure children and families in Winston-Salem.

The event offers multiple race options around a looped course at Kimberley Park, just outside downtown Winston-Salem. The course is a 0.55 mile crushed gravel trail loop. For reference, 5K entrants run a little under six laps and 10K entrants run just over eleven laps.

  • 5K
  • 10K
  • 1 Mile Fun Run
  • 49 Mile Fun Run individual entry
  • 49 Mile Relay teams of 2 to 8 runners

The event is family oriented and includes prizes for Top Overall Female and Male finishers, giveaways, and on-site food and snacks. There is an after party with food, drink, fellowship, and additional giveaways. Registration windows and fees vary by event; some events have early registration periods and set entry fees.
