From the organizer

What is the RAH?™

We’re glad you asked.

RAH! represents the celebration of an annual event with hundreds of runners and thousands of fans in the beautiful, historic neighborhood of Ardmore in Winston-Salem.

RAH! stands for Run Against Hunger because it’s a food drive with all net proceeds benefiting the Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC , which assists food insecure and at-risk families and children right in our own neighborhoods.

RAH! is the sound of an entire community coming together to do something really worth cheering for. The race occurs the third Saturday in October, annually.

The 2025 RAH! features a fun run (1 mile), a 5K , and a 10K . This race is designed for everyone, from lightening-fast runners and avid athletes to power walkers and first-time participants. You can complete this in person or virtually!
