This Ballantyne road race tradition continues on Saturday, April 5, 2025, marking the 21st annual Run! Ballantyne 8K, 5K, and Fun Run presented by Northwood Office. With over 1,400 participants in 2024, this YMCA signature event is one of the largest road races in the Ballantyne area. Hit the pavement and make your footprints count in support of the YMCA Better Us Campaign that gives youth an opportunity to play, learn and grow in a safe and thriving environment.

Run! Ballantyne serves as the second race in the 2025 YMCA Race Series. With multiple routes designed within the Ballantyne Corporate Park and new greenway connections, this event is perfect for runners and walkers of all levels and ages - beginner to expert. Finishers will receive a custom die-cast finisher medal after crossing the finish line and everyone can enjoy a post-race party hosted by a live DJ at The Amp at the Ballantyne Bowl.

Make a difference as a team and register with your business, community group or school for the 2025 Run! Ballantyne race. Running is always better with friends! Awards will be given for largest teams in each division and fastest overall team.
