The Run for Young, a great family event for the young and the young at heart, is a certified 5k run/walk planned and managed by Christ Episcopal Church Youth. 

The Run for Young honors the memory of Sadiki Young (a Christ Church member and acolyte) and reminds  Wake County teens how important it is to make good decisions whenever automobiles are involved.  Proceeds from the race will raise awareness for safe driving methods for teens at participating high schools and will support the Christ Church Youth Ministry Endowment.


         THANKS to all participants and our sponsors for our largest Run for Young to date.  

Results from the 2012 Run for Young are here. 



The Millbrook High School community is in our thoughts and prayers today.  



New this year, the Run for Young will feature live music along the race course!   See Bands for how your band can participate and to see the list of bands performing.

The Youth Committee encourages participants from all Wake County high schools to form teams and/or run in costumes.   All participants who register before December 31st will receive a Run for Young T-shirt. 

Sadiki Young was tragically killed five years ago in an alcohol related accident, and the youth of Christ Church felt strongly about honoring Sadiki's memory.  Our fourth annual run was held in January of 2011 and was an amazing success.  We were able to raise alcohol awareness and funds for Wakefield High School's Just Think First Program, as well as the Christ Church Youth Ministry Endowment Fund.  The awareness that the Run brings to our community is vast.  Even for those who did not know Sadiki personally, the Run for Young is a constant reminder to make positive and smart decisions.  

The Run for Young Committee recognizes that far too many Wake County schools have suffered similar tragedies.  We invite the entire Wake County community to come together to run or walk this year's "Run For all of the Young" to honor the memory of all youth whose lives are cut short by automobile accidents.  By honoring these youth, The Run for Young raises awareness of how important it is for young people to make good decisions each and every day.   The Committee also recognizes the tremendous potential of our youth, and celebrates the joy in seeing that potential realized.

We invite each Wake Country school to create teams to encourage participation in the 2012 Run for Young.
