Eagle 5K, 10K, and 13.1M

Get ready to take flight at the Eagle 5K, 10K, and 13.1M, soaring into Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Saturday, July 18, 2026. This exciting event kicks off bright and early at 8:00 AM EDT from Jamison Park, offering runners a choice of three popular distances: a 5K, 10K, or a Half Marathon (13.1M). Participants should note that packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the race, concluding 10 minutes prior to the start, and all registrations must be completed online via RunSignup, as no on-site registration will be available.

The Eagle races promise a scenic out-and-back course through the beautiful landscapes of Forsyth County. The 5K runners will complete the route once, the 10K participants will tackle it twice, and those taking on the Half Marathon challenge will complete four loops of the course, all within a generous 3-hour and 30-minute time limit. While the summer heat can be a factor with typical race day highs around 89°F and lows around 70°F, there's only a 13% chance of precipitation, making for potentially clear skies. Every finisher will be rewarded with a well-deserved medal to commemorate their achievement, and for those with a flair for the dramatic, a "Best Costume" award adds an extra layer of fun to the day.

As part of the popular US Road Running series, the Eagle 5K, 10K, and 13.1M is more than just a race; it's a community celebration where camaraderie thrives. Whether you're aiming for a new personal best or simply looking to enjoy a vibrant running experience, this event offers a fantastic opportunity to hit the pavement in Winston-Salem.
