About this race

Are you looking for a way to positively impact your community while staying active and healthy? Look no further than the Run For It program, developed by the Tucker Community Foundation in 2007. This program encourages participation in healthy activities while raising much-needed support, and awareness for non-profit organizations, civic organizations, and charities in our eight-county region of West Virginia and Maryland.

Join one of the many teams representing non-profit and charitable organizations and take advantage of three opportunities to raise support through the program: entry fees, team sponsorship, and race day awards. Not only does half of the $12.00 entry fee go towards your chosen cause, but team sponsors can also donate any amount to any number of causes, and all sponsor donations go directly toward your team's cause. Plus, the Foundation provides the initial funding for the race awards purse, and race sponsors supplement these awards, leading to 100% cash awards for teams across numerous award categories.

By participating in Run For It, you'll be supporting a wide range of causes that make a difference in our community, including the arts, animal welfare, challenged athletes, charities, churches, civic organizations, community improvement projects, cultural organizations, educational activities, emergency services, environmental causes, historic preservation, hospital and medical programs, libraries and literacy programs, non-profit organizations, parks and recreation, senior citizen programs, Tucker Community Foundation operations, and youth organizations.

The annual Run For It campaign begins on April 1, 2024, and culminates with a 2k walk and 5k walk/run on September 28, 2024, in Davis, WV, during the annual Leaf Peeper's Festival. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to make a difference in your community while improving your health. Join a team and start fundraising today!

What to expect

Written from race data

The Run For It! Tour of Davis, WV Virtual 5k Run/Walk, scheduled for September 28, 2024, offers a unique opportunity to experience the charm of Davis, West Virginia, from wherever you choose. While this is a virtual event, it aims to capture the spirit of exploring this scenic Appalachian town. Participants will be running or walking a 5k distance on their own chosen route on the designated date, submitting their results digitally. The "Tour of Davis" aspect suggests that even in a virtual format, the event encourages participants to connect with the essence of Davis, WV. Expect a flexible and accessible race experience. As a virtual event, the primary focus is on participation and supporting the cause behind "Run For It!". The terrain and conditions are entirely dependent on your chosen location for the run/walk; however, the inspiration is the mountainous landscape of Davis, WV, which is known for its rolling hills and natural beauty. Participants should prepare for a standard 5k distance (3.1 miles) and ensure they have a reliable method for tracking their time and distance. Although this is a virtual race, the "Run For It!" initiative often has a philanthropic component, so it's likely this event contributes to a charitable cause. Participants can anticipate a sense of community participation from afar and the satisfaction of completing a 5k on their own terms while being mentally "in" Davis, WV. The flexibility of a virtual event makes it an ideal option for those who cannot physically attend but wish to support the initiative and engage in a fitness challenge.
