The YMCA’s 39th Annual Mistletoe Run Half Marathon, 5K, and Fun Run has finally arrived. In just a few days runners will be headed out and lining up at the starting line to brave the chill and hills to race their way through the beautiful streets of Winston-Salem. This year the sanctioned course takes runners through the landmark neighborhood of Buena Vista, and Half Marathon distance runners will enjoy the picturesque vistas of Grayln Estate, Reynolda, and the Wake Forest University Campus. 

 The Mistletoe Run channels purpose, wellness, and holiday cheer—bringing participants from around the community together for a cause; Bell, Davis & Pitt is proud to be the presenting sponsor for the 11th year running. 

Through youth programs like sports, swim lessons, summer camp, and before & after-school care children can build friendships, community, and self-confidence while also learning how to live a healthy life. Funds from the Mistletoe Run help provide financial assistance to families so all kids can participate in the YMCA’s youth programs and build healthy habits that last for life.  

Last year the Mistletoe Run raised $61,00 and with those proceeds, the YMCA of Northwest North Carolinas was able to:

• Teach safety around water and drowning prevention to more than 700 children through swim lessons
• Provide a fun and safe learning environment to more than 140 families through after-school care
• Build strength and confidence in more than 890 children through youth sports
