Finish the Fight 5K

On Sunday, October 5, runners and walkers are invited to participate in the Finish the Fight 5K, organized by the Gaye Y Whitaker Memorial Fund. This annual fundraising event aims to support this year's beneficiary, Wendy Biggs, through a morning run or walk along scenic routes near Christiansburg.
Registration for the race opens at 8:30 a.m., with packet pickup taking place in the parking lot behind the Christiansburg Recreation Center. Participants will gather there before heading out onto the Huckleberry Trail for an engaging and inspiring journey. The event kicks off promptly at 9:30 a.m., offering runners a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of their surroundings while contributing to a meaningful cause.
The route itself is designed to challenge participants with varied terrain, providing both flat stretches that are easy on the legs as well as sections where runners can feel the earth beneath them. The Huckleberry Trail offers lush greenery and quiet moments among nature, making it an ideal setting for this community-driven event. As you move along the trail, the camaraderie between participants fosters a supportive atmosphere, encouraging everyone to push their limits while raising awareness for Wendy Biggs.
All proceeds from the Finish the Fight 5K will go directly toward supporting its beneficiary and furthering the mission of the Gaye Y Whitaker Memorial Fund. This event not only celebrates community spirit but also honors those who have made significant contributions in the fight against adversity, ensuring that their legacy continues to inspire future generations.
Join us on October 5 for a day filled with purposeful movement and heartfelt connections.
