We Run Winston is the local running community hub of Winston-Salem, brought to you by our friends at Fleet Feet, with one goal: grow the Winston-Salem fitness community. We Run Winston is your home for fitness AND community.
What is We Run Winston? “For 2022, we continue to evolve We Run Winston. In early 2020, COVID brought about many new challenges and put an abrupt end to our group training programs. We are slowly getting back to the We Run Winston program as we know it! For 2022, We Run Winston will remain the umbrella program for everything running at Fleet Feet Winston-Salem!
If you want to be part of something really special- it’s our local running community. And nothing feels quite as LOCAL as We Run Winston. Here’s your chance to take advantage of all that the local running community has to offer and score some incredible offers all year long through Fleet Feet Winston-Salem! Our mission for We Run Winston is to cultivate an involved group of ambassadors that love the sport of running and living a fit life.
We Run Winston offers members a well-rounded umbrella program of workouts, training, education, and pure running enjoyment. Throughout the year we may offer different programs and opportunities…..and you can jump in as a member any time.”
We are grateful for partnerships with such community focused organizations like Fleet Feet and We Run Winston. Together in 2023 we will be able to offer training programs that go hand in hand with our Mutt Strut 5k walk and run. There will be opportunities to learn how to best walk or run with your dog so that your companion and side kick can come with you on wellness excursions and so that you feel confident in your ability to take on the mileage while doing so with a group committed to the wellbeing of themselves and their furry friends.
We also wanted to take a moment to honor the memory of the beloved Gail Whitlock who we ran for at this fall’s Pumpkin and Paws fun run with Fleet Feet. Gail worked closely with Fleet Feet and enjoyed helping others. She delighted in the outdoors; hiking and running; and participated in the Chicago Marathon. Gail loved animals. She had a radiant smile. She was an amazing person, so very loved and will be greatly missed by the community.
Keep an eye out for more details regarding Mutt Strut, our partnership with Fleet Feet and We Run Winston along with other opportunities to meetup in community and companionship right here in Winston-Salem!
