Alleghany Memorial Hospital Foundation 1 Mile Walk and 5K Run

The Alleghany Memorial Hospital Foundation 1 Mile Walk and 5K Run takes place annually at Crouse Park on Cherry Street in Sparta, North Carolina. Participants can choose between a 5K run, approximately 3.1 miles, and a 1-mile walk. Both events begin in the morning. Registration typically opens in early June and remains open until late September, with distinct registration fees for the run and the walk. The Alleghany Memorial Hospital Foundation sponsors this event, with proceeds directed to purchasing medical equipment for Alleghany Health. The race emphasizes local health and wellness, attracting individuals seeking exercise and a direct method to support patients, healthcare professionals, and the broader Alleghany community.
