In collaboration with the North East Wake Backpack Buddies, Wake Forest Elementary School, and Wake Forest Presbyterian Church, proceeds from this event are divided among the Rolesville, Wake Forest, and Wakefield Backpack Buddy and Track Out Tummy programs. Together over 200 children are fed!

Race Day Information

We will have a donation truck setup on race day and are asking people to bring a pre-packaged, easy-to-open, non-perishable food item that is appropriate and healthy for small children. This is a great way to get kids involved in community service. Let them pick out their favorite (healthy) food item and give that to a child who is truly hungry!

Parking is available at the Harris Teeter parking lot on Rogers Road and Heritage Lakes Drive. If you live in Heritage Wake Forest please try to walk or ride your bike to this event and save parking for those traveling to our neighborhood.
