The Downtown Greenway announces the first ever Run 4 the Greenway Virtual Challenge. In place of what would have been the 11th annual Run 4 the Greenway, the 2020 Run 4 the Greenway Virtual Challenge will build awareness and excitement for the Downtown Greenway as a virtual event. Register online.
A rolling packet pick-up pop-up will be held on Saturday, October 17 from 1-5 pm at LoFi Park, 500 N. Eugene St., on the Downtown Greenway. Online registration is open until October 17. Participants can run the four-mile or one-mile run on their own time and schedule between October 17-31 and submit times and photos to the RaceJoy app managed by Jones Racing Company.
A Virtual Closing Party will take place on Sunday, November 1 from 4-5 pm with music, random prize drawings from local businesses for participants and interactive activities.
The suggested route of the four-mile run will encompass all of the open sections of the Downtown Greenway and a detour route running parallel to the railroad corridor on the western side. The one-mile route can be any one-mile section of the four-mile route. Alternately, participants can select the route of their choice. Out-of-town participants will receive the packet by mail. A separate scavenger hunt on the Downtown Greenway will be offered for runners and other residents.
The Downtown Greenway is an important project for the City of Greensboro. The first one-and-a-half miles of the four-mile loop open, another one-and-a-half miles are currently under construction, and the final mile will be built in 2021
With the eastern section of the Downtown Greenway along Murrow Blvd. being completed in October, it will be a great time for people to explore the newest completed section on their own or with friends and family.
Long-time Run 4 the Greenway runner, Hollis Oberlies said, "Our Downtown Greenway is a great place to exercise, view art and explore our community. I am so grateful for a vibrant, urban, outdoor space, especially this year, when so many activities have been cancelled. As a runner and family with two teens, we are especially happy to have a place to explore Greensboro safely outdoors on bikes and on foot. We have supported the Downtown Greenway for many years, and look forward to the completion of the loop soon. The Run 4 the Greenway has become a fall tradition, and a great way to be part of a city treasure. I encourage any and all to come out with your aunt, uncle, best friend, spouse, kids, and dogs, and participate in the fun, safe event for a great cause! We all could use more park and green space in our lives."
