Registration, apparel and charities
Registration requires creating or joining a team for relay events; each team member must register and pay their share or add multiple members on the confirmation page. If a team is not selected, the full team fee will be charged. Registration closes the Wednesday before the race; late registrations are accepted in person on race day. Price increases occur after October 16, 2025. Tri-blend short sleeve race shirts are guaranteed for registrations completed through the end of October; shirts run true to size and sizing up is recommended for a looser fit. The race collects gently worn running shoes for Sneakers4Good. Charity partners include the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Winston-Salem and the Winston-Salem Street School. The event is part of the Big 4 Trail Race Series hosted by the Twin City Track Club. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
