Mistletoe Run

Join us for the most wonderful run of the year! Register today!

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 in downtown Winston-Salem, NC and features a Half Marathon, 5K & one mile Fun Run. 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.

Our Cause

At the YMCA, we believe every child deserves a healthy & active life. We are proud to share that all race proceeds benefit the children & teens in our community by providing funding for YMCA swim lessons, summer camp, youth sports, before & after school care, teen memberships & 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 proudly presented by the law firm of Bell, Davis & Pitt.
