    NOTICE: Due to the icy and snowy conditions at Kimberly Park and in the surrounding community, 48 Miles for HOPE will be a virtual event for all runners.

    For the fifth consecutive year, Justin will spend his birthday running his age in miles, all to raise money and awareness for HOPE of Winston Salem! Like the last two years, there will be a 5K, 10K, and 1 Mile Fun Run to take place as Justin runs laps around the loop at Kimberley Park. For the First time, there will be a RELAY option, so gather up to 6 friends and run the full 48 relay-style.

    As always, you can sign up for the 48 mile "Fun Run" to go the full distance!

    This year's after party will be the best yet, so stick around after the race for food, drink, fellowship and giveaways!

    The Course is a .55 mile crushed gravel trail loop at Kimberley Park, just outside of downtown Winston Salem. 5Kers will run a little under 6 laps and 10Kers will run just over 11 laps. Each race will start at different times to allow people to spread out.

    This is a family event complete with prizes, giveaways, and fellowship. Prizes will be awarded for Top Overall Female and Male finishers. Food and snacks will be available on site to help you fuel up post-race. All proceeds benefit HOPE of Winston Salem and help curb food insecurity for many families in Forsyth County. Find out more about HOPE here. To donate directly to HOPE, click here and enter in "48 Miles of HOPE" in the additional info box.

    Come support HOPE and celebrate Justin's birthday at this unique event!

    Stay tuned for more information about the race!

    About us

    When our sister/daughter, Angel, was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at the very young age of 29, we were devastated, in shock, and uncertain of what we could do. Yet even amid her battle, Angel was compelled to find ways to help others. It was during her own chemo treatments that she expressed the desire, once her treatments were over, to start a nonprofit to help other patients. Thus, The Angelic Warrior Foundation, and our annual Angel Run were established to bring her dream to life.

    The Angelic Warrior Foundation’s vision is to help save lives by drawing attention to the alarming rate in which young adults are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and to prevent premature deaths from this relentless disease. Our goal is to prevent other families from experiencing the heartache of losing such a young family member by sharing information about colorectal cancer and putting on a fun event for participants and their families.

    By participating in the Angel Run, you will help us raise awareness about colon cancer, and provide support to colon cancer patients and their families. To learn more about Angelic Warrior Foundation, you can visit our website: https://angelicwarriorfoundation.org
