Run For It


Cool mountain air. Leaves blazing red. Music pumping, costumes turning heads, and high-fives flying as runners, walkers, and strollers take off!

Sure, Run For It is a 2K walk and a USATF-certified 5K—but it’s so much more. Part fun run, part community-wide party, this event is a celebration where every finish-line moment fuels something bigger.

ABOUT THE EVENT


Each year, during the Leaf Peeper’s Festival in Davis, WV, people from all walks of life come together to move with purpose.

Some run in memory of a loved one. Others walk beside teammates, raising awareness for a cause close to their hearts. Families walk with their dogs, friends reunite, and entire communities rally behind the nonprofits and organizations that make this region strong.

IMPACT


Since 2007, Run For It has raised over $3.6 million, proving that when people come together, even the smallest steps can create lasting change.
