Greater Goldsboro Road Run - Run for a Child

Experience one of the oldest road runs in North Carolina. Except for the 2020 year due to the pandemic, the event
has been held annually since 1979. Come be part of a running event with a long tradition and enjoy a run or
walk on a USATF certified course primarily along streets lined with azaleas and dogwoods. Despite the safety
limitations regarding the close gathering of large groups, participants can enjoy the new and revitalized area
formerly the Cornerstone Commons, now called The Hub as well as the further extensions of the Streetscape
improvements to Center Street. Our volunteers will observe safety precautions as necessary to facilitate another
excellent event.

The Run for a Child – 44th Annual Greater Goldsboro Road Run is facilitated by the Sunrise Kiwanis of
Goldsboro. The event is a fundraiser to help support our purpose of assisting the children and youth of our
community. The funds generated from event sponsorships and participants go toward financial support for over
20 local organizations that assist the needy children and youth of Wayne County.

Our 10K run, 5K Run/Walk, and 1-mile Fun Run routes are downtown again this year. The starting locations
for all events will be near The Hub located at the Southeast intersection of Center and Chestnut Streets
downtown in Goldsboro NC with all starting times beginning at 9:00 AM.

Registration and Pre-Registration: The Hub, 200 S. Center St., Southeast corner of S. Center Street and W.

This year we welcome Mr. Wuf, mascot for the North Carolina State Wolfpack, to our event.
