Run, Walk, or Ride Through the Holiday

Don’t wait for the new year to start a healthy resolution.

There are two fun run/walk events happening during the holidays to get you moving.

Annual Christmas Eve Fun Run/Walk

Join for Christmas cheer and a good time on the greenway. With a 3- mile or 1-mile course, you can run or walk; plus a kid’s fun run in Vic Thomas Park. There will be some refreshments, and maybe Santa will have a few prizes but no timing, no t-shirts, no results, and no entry fee. Come for the fun and the great company.

• When: Dec. 24 at noon
• Where: Vic Thomas Park, Roanoke
• RSVP on Facebook

New Year’s Day Run to the Star

Celebrate the New Year with a little jaunt to the Mill Mountain Star with the Star City Striders. Trail, old road, new road, bike, snowshoes, running shoes; it’s up to you. Choose your own route to the top and join in for a group photo at the top at 9 am.

• When: Jan. 1 at 9 a.m.
• Where: Mill Mountain Star
• RSVP on Facebook
