A run in the cold can warm the heart! You are invited to the most wonderful run of the year! Join us for our 41st annual event on the first Saturday in December.

Every participant will receive a race shirt and 5K and half marathoners will receive finisher medals as they cross the Finish Line!

Course Description

At the Y, we believe every child deserves a healthy and happy life. The Mistletoe Run supports this belief. It is the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina’s largest annual fundraiser netting over 60K each year. We are proud to share that all race proceeds benefit the youth in our community by providing financial assistance and funding for YMCA youth programming like swim lessons, summer camp, youth sports, before & after school care, teen memberships and more. Our programs build self-confidence, friendships & community while also teaching children and teens how to live healthier and more active lives.
The Mistletoe Half Marathon, 5K, and Fun Run is proudly presented by the law firm of Bell, Davis & Pitt.
