And this is why we run!! Wow! $3637.50 donated to the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families. Black Mountain Recreation Thanks everyone who participated, sponsored, and supported the Valentine 5K & Kids Fun Run this year. Thank you!!

This past Tuesday, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to donate $3,637.50 to the Black Mountain Home for Children, Youth & Families from this year’s Valentine 5K race! This amount is over four times the donation of $806 from the 2021 race.

This year’s Valentine 5K took place on February 12 and featured 205 runners. Half of all registration fees plus extra donations given by runners created this year’s donation amount. We can’t thank everyone enough who participated in this year’s race and made this donation possible.
