Holiday Run FestivalSaturday, December 2, 2023![]() Miles in Martinsville in partnership with the Martinsville Speedway presents
the inaugural Holiday Run Festival. This December 2 event will be run in conjunction with the annual
Martinsville Speedway Toy drive. The Holiday Run Festival will feature
two races and a walk, both starting and finishing on the iconic Martinsville
Speedway. Founded in 1947 by the late H. Clay
Earles, Martinsville is the only track which has hosted NASCAR Cup
Series races every year since the division's inception in 1949. The Youth in Motion 5K will start at 9:00
AM. This is the Fall race for the local Youth in Motion
program. This program is designed to inspire young girls and
boys to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun, experience-based
curriculum and creatively integrating running into their lives. This race
will include serious competitors of all ages and will include the participation
of a significant number of youngsters along with their coaches and mentors. Also starting at 9:00 AM will be the 5K Toy Walk.
The walk will be open to those who just want to walk the course and enjoy
the ambience of the Speedway venue. Walkers will not be eligible for
awards or race shirts. The Southside 10K will start an hour later
at 10:00 AM. This new race offers
the opportunity for runners to challenge themselves over a longer
