Mistletoe Run

The Mistletoe Run is a great way to kick off the holiday season and is the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina's largest annual fundraiser! 

The Mistletoe Run begins and ends at the William G White Jr Family YMCA and features a one mile Fun Walk/Run, a 5K & a Half Marathon. Our Mistletoe 5K runners travel through Winston-Salem’s beautiful Buena Vista neighborhood, while the half marathon course will continue through the Graylyn International Conference Center, Reynolda House and Gardens, through Reynolda Village, onto Wake Forest University’s campus, then circle back around to the Y.

Virtual Participants: We are continuing to offer a virtual option to our participants! You can run/walk your Half Marathon, 5K, or 1 mile Fun Run from any location you choose between Dec 2-Dec10. 

Our Cause
At the Y, we believe every child deserves a healthy life. We are proud to share that All race proceeds benefit the youth in our community by providing financial assistance and funding for youth programming like swim lessons, summer camp, youth sports, before & after school care and more. Our programs build self-confidence, friendships & community while also teaching children how to live healthier lives. 

The Mistletoe Half Marathon, 5K, and Fun Run is presented by the law firm of Bell, Davis & Pitt.
