🏃‍♀️ Race Overview

The Greater Forest City Business Alliance is excited to announce our FOURTH annual 5K and Community Walk to be held on Saturday, May 10, 2025, on the D &: H Trail! The 5K race start is scheduled for 10 am with a 1 mile “Community Fun Walk” to follow immediately thereafter.

🌟 In Memory of Donny Teague

In January 2022, Forest City lost a longtime resident and “running icon”, Donny Teague at the age of 91. For all who knew Don, he was “always running”. He was known and will be remembered for his true love of the sport, boundless energy and his colorful and attention-grabbing outfits when hitting the pavement. He was also a faithful supporter, advocate, and statistician for the Forest City Regional Cross-Country Team, for more than 20 years. He was committed to the success of those student athletes and made sure each team member had the support they needed to cross the finish line. He was out on the course until they were in. We are honored to recognize and remember Don with this event.

💰 Race Contributions

In line with Donny’s joy of running in, around and through Forest City, funds raised from this race continue to be earmarked to support projects connecting local commerce to our region’s outdoor experience. Specifically, in 2025, the GFCBA intends to support the following initiatives:

• Funding: to purchase decorative lights for the holidays for the light poles on Forest City's Main Street
• Investment: to promote our professional seasonal videos, which the GFCBA created to promote all the Greater Forest City Region has to offer
• Expansion: of Forest City’s Trail Town Festival
