Description
Are you ready to test your limits and make a difference? Introducing the "Walking to Winston" virtual race, where you can go the distance while supporting our incredible first responders. Lace up your shoes, gather your friends and family, and let's make a positive impact together!
The Walk to Winston race is not just about personal achievement; it's about giving back to our community heroes, the first responders who selflessly protect and serve us every day. We are proud to announce that all proceeds from this event will go towards purchasing Rudy Bears for the first responders of Winston Salem.
What are Rudy Bears? Rudy Bears are special teddy bears, designed to provide comfort and support to those who have experienced trauma or difficult situations. These bears will be distributed to our incredible first responders, offering a small token of appreciation and a source of comfort during challenging times.
Remember, the power to make a change lies within you. Let's come together as a community, show our support for our local heroes, and make this the most impactful virtual race yet. Lace-up, step out, and Walk to Winston!
Challenge yourself to walk the distance from the location of our first club in Holland, VA to Winston-Salem, NC, the location of our next Annual Convention. The total distance is 250 miles! Phew!! Run, walk, bike anywhere you want - your neighborhood, local green ways, laps around your backyard, a treadmill or even an elliptical. We are allowing you to complete the walk anytime through midnight on January 13th, which is the last day of the convention. Log your miles as you complete them and if you aim for 1.5 miles a day you will make it in plenty of time.
Giveaway
Each race participant will receive their very own Rudy Bear!
