WALK

Walk for Hope


Route

The Walk for Hope is a fun 5K (3.1 miles) route that begins at the Angus Barn on Hwy 70, goes up Glenwood Ave into Umstead Park, turns around at the Umstead Visitor Center, and returns to the Angus Barn. If you have small children or just aren't feeling a full 5K, we've also got a lovely 1-mile family fun natue hike around the Angus Barn Lake! Click here to view a map of the 5K route.

Join thousands of members of our community to raise awareness and desperately needed funds for mental illness research. 
 

Run

Want to run? While we can't offer an official, timed Race for Steak this year, runners are welcome to do an unofficial, untimed 5K at 9:00am. Crush your miles, then join your team and cool down on the Walk!
