It’s that time of year again and we’re excited to kick off Giving Tuesday with our 2023 Membership Drive as we continue our mission of “Bringing the Greater Raleigh running community together through innovation, activation, and inclusivity.” Sir Walter Running is a Raleigh-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
We were able to do more events in 2022, with the addition of the Spring Greenway 5k series, the return of the live and in person Pop Up Miles, and the expansion of the Sir Walter Miler weekend with the addition of the athlete panel, the coffee run, and more athlete interviews (on the Summer of Miles podcast).
We’ve got some exciting things (listed) below for 2023 and hope you will help support the cause. And if you haven’t signed up for our email list, click the image below and do it to keep up with the latest!
