Giving Tuesday - 2025 Membership + Raleigh Holiday Half!
Giving Tuesday is here. Support Sir Walter Running!
Runners,
It’s Giving Tuesday and we’ve got some exciting things coming for 2025 and hope you will help support the cause! We had some big moments this year, starting with Puma Elite's Fiona O'Keeffe winning the 2023 Raleigh Holiday Half Marathon and then going on to win the 2024 US Olympic Trials Marathon. In June, we had our biggest Pop Up Miles season ever, and followed it up with the fastest Women's (Outdoor) Mile in the World for 2024! You read that right. Dorcus Ewoi led Sage Hurta-Klecker and Heather MacLean to the top three times in the world for 2024! Your support allows us to continue getting the best athletes to Raleigh every August! Read more about it here.

This Saturday, December 7th is the 6th Raleigh (Holiday) Half Marathon. The race returns to the Capital Area Greenway System on the Crabtree Creek Greenway, with an additional section on the Neuse River Greenway! The Raleigh Half is our biggest fundraiser for the Sir Walter Miler and we’re on track for a great year!
So come race, come jog, or volunteer! (PLEASE - we need a few more pacers and people to help with aid stations).
We have many awesome sponsors and partners this year, including Mordecai Beverage Co., who is hosting packet pickup on Friday and at the after party on race day. More info on the event is here: raleighhalfmarathon.com
Thanks for supporting Sir Walter!
Your Friends,
Sir Walter Running
