There are two main things that every race longer than a 5k needs to be successful; that’s water and volunteers.

We are thankful that @wegmans has been kind enough to supply 2500 individual waters for this years event. You will find six aid stations along the course, as well as the start and the finish, that will be fully stocked with small, individual waters that you will be able to grab that will keep you hydrated, and safe!

And we need volunteers to pass out that water! We are thankful that @epicphysicaltherapy will be working the aid stations for us. They will keep waters on the edge of the table for you, and will keep the greenway clean!

Thanks Wegmans and EPIC PT!

Finishing faster than you started makes any race m

Finishing faster than you started makes any race more enjoyable, and the team at @on_running is going to help you get there this Saturday at the Greenway 20k! The On Team will be set up at the 10k mark in Anderson Point Park and will be supplying GU gels, water, and possibly some music to help you run that last 10k faster than your first!

All runners move in their own unique way. And On thinks that’s the way it should be. That’s why Ons signature technology CloudTec is Swiss-engineered to benefit everybody, however and wherever they run. How? Well for starters, studies by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have shown that it’s proven to reduce heart rates and muscle activation. What does that mean for you? More energy, more speed and more running. On comes from the Swiss Alps, so they like doing this naturally. The focus is on cushioning, and not correction, instead of forcing your feet to land in a certain way, which could cause discomfort or injury, On outsoles adapt to you. This way you can maximize your potential in absolute comfort. Learn more at on-running.com

Pick up you own pair of Ons locally at @runologie, @paceyourselfrunco, @fleetfeetral, @omegasportsnc, @caprunwalk, @trustygopc, and @rei.

The following runners will win a complimentary pair of On shoes!

-Top Male and Female Overall
-Top Relay Team
-Top Final 10k Split Male and Female

There are few places better to ride an @elliptigo_usa than the Capital Area Greenway!

Want to train like Olympian and 2:25 Marathoner @bygolly.molly? ElliptiGO has become the new standard for cross-training as it's the closest simulation to running without impact. In addition to hundreds of professional athletes using ElliptiGO bikes, tens of thousands of weekend warriors are also using this resource to train harder and smarter with less risk of injury.

Sir Walter Running is excited to have ElliptiGO as a sponsor of the Greenway 20k and enjoy partnering with them on several of our events throughout the year. If you are a runner looking to add volume and intensity to your training or simply want to enjoy cross-training outside, there’s really nothing better. To try one yourself, just head over to elliptigo.com and sign up for a test ride in your area!

Run fast! Recover faster. Win @oofos! Let’s fac

Run fast! Recover faster. Win @oofos!

Let’s face it… After a hard run or race, there’s nothing better than taking off your running shoes and putting on something more comfortable. With that in mind, why not “Recover Faster. Feel the OO.”

Sir Walter Running is excited that OOFOS is a sponsor of the Greenway 20k!

Made with proprietary OOfoam® technology, OOFOS absorb 37% more impact* than traditional foam footwear materials for the perfect blend of cushion and stability.

Then there’s our patented footbed. It cradles and supports arches to reduce energy exertion in the ankles by up to 47%* when compared to competitors’ footwear. So walking is easier. Recovery is faster. And yOO actually feel better.

Did you know, we will have a bag drop at the start and we will bring it to you at the finish line? Why not treat yourself to a pair of OOFOS upon race completion? You can pick up a pair locally at @fleetfeetral, @rei, @paceyourselfrunco, @omegasportsnc, @caprunwalk, and @dsw

The OOFOS Team will be at the finish line this year to answer any questions you have!

The following runners will win a complimentary pair of OOFOS!

-Top 3 Men and Women Overall
-Top Male and Female Masters Athlete
-Top Male and Female Raleigh Resident
-Top Relay Team
