Since Fleet Feet Winston-Salem was founded in August of 2006 by Emily and Keith Davis, their dedicated team has been committed to supporting the active residents of Winston-Salem and its surrounding areas in every possible way. One of the most rewarding things is seeing how active the Winston-Salem and Clemmons communities have become over the years.
“We’re lucky to live in a community with enough avid runners – and walkers – to support a variety of options. These days, you don’t have to look too far to find a welcoming group of running buddies!” adds Emily.
She is thrilled and proud to announce the relaunch of the “We Run Winston” race series, designed to promote and highlight running races in the Winston-Salem and Clemmons areas. When we run local, race local and shop local – it’s good for our entire community! The Fleet Feet team invites you to join in supporting these local races in 2025, by checking out the race calendar on their website.
“What unites every race in this series is their shared goal of raising funds that benefit our entire community,” Emily shares. “The series aims to foster a positive impact and strengthen community ties.”
She also emphasizes that participating in a local race is something truly special and meaningful.
“There’s a common bond – regardless of your speed on race day,” she adds. “Running or walking in a lively race atmosphere, celebrating together at the finish line and enjoying the post-race expo are all enjoyable aspects. However, the most rewarding part is the sense of camaraderie you feel with fellow community members.”
This amazing experience is all about coming together to celebrate health and support local organizations that do good around the Winston-Salem community. Each participant’s registration fee contributes significantly to this larger cause.
