Angus Barn annual event returns

IT’S ALL ABOUT HOPE

31st Annual Thad and Alice Eure Walk for Hope Oct. 13

Each year, thousands of participants come together at the Angus Barn in North Raleigh to show solidarity for family, friends, and community members living with a mental illness. After the walk is over, participants join in a celebration of their achievement with a family-friendly afternoon of food, games, music, and prizes.

The 31st Annual Walk for Hope is Sunday, Oct. 13, at the Angus Barn on Glenwood Avenue just south of I-540 in North Raleigh.

The Walk for Hope features two different events:

• 5K (3.1 miles): Begins at the Angus Barn on Hwy 70, turns around at the Umstead Visitor Center, and returns to the Angus Barn.

• 1-mile Family Fun Nature Hike around the Angus Barn Lake.

Hundreds of participants

Parking is available in two separate areas off of Lumley Road, with free shuttles available 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.: • 8081 Arco Corporate Drive, near the exit of Lumley Road & I-540 and 9600 Lumley Road

The walk event is a day filled with family fun and prizes. All registered participants receive a T-shirt and are invited to join the post-Walk celebration with kids’ activities, food, music and more. Top fundraisers receive special prizes and recognition, and everyone is entered into the event raffle for more prizes.
