Please join us, here at Friends Homes, for our 4th annual 5K event. Our goal this year is to raise $20,000 for the Resident Financial Assistance Campaign. The campaign provides financial assistance to residents who have had unexpected hardships and outlived their resources. We support all residents once they are part of the community, and the Resident Financial Assistance Campaign provides security of living at Friends Homes.
You can register for the race anytime, including on the day of the event. The 5K entry fee is $30 but increases to $35 on race day. The Fun Run fee is $20 and increases to $25 on race day. T-shirts are included with each entry and are guaranteed for participants who register by April 3rd. After this date, shirts will be available while supplies last.

These values represent the 3-year monthly averages for April in Greensboro.
Greensboro is a city of almost 300,000 people (2020) in North Carolina. It is named after Nathanael Greene, a Patriot general who fought a battle here during the Revolutionary War. It's nicknamed the "Gate City" for its historical role as a transportation hub for the Piedmont. The famous author William Sydney Porter, better known as O. Henry, was born here. It can be sleepy and genteel but is enjoying a newfound reputation as a great place for young people. Downtown especially is experiencing a surfeit of bars, music venues and restaurants. Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and High Point are the three cities that make up the Piedmont Triad, halfway between Raleigh and Charlotte.
