First Event of Its Kind: Run or Walk Race, During a Live Revolutionary
War Reenactment
Profits to Benefit The Paralyzed Veterans
Association
Winston Salem, NC-
Kevin Pyles, Spokesperson for The Revolution Run, confirmed today they will be holding a one of a
kind event: The Revolution Run with Live Revolutionary War Reenactment on January
31, 2015 at 8 am at Rawhide Ranch at 1347 Dearmin Road in Westfield, NC.
“We are excited to bring a much needed, re-ignition
of “old time” American Pride to Northwestern NC. We want to test the heart and will of present
day Americans while taking them back in time 200 years to remind them of an era
almost forgotten. According to the American
Revolution Center’s 2009 survey, 83
percent of adult Americans did not
have a basic understanding of the American Revolution.”,
says Pyles.
“Moving back to the country last October, really opened my
eyes to the differences in American pride in areas separated by as little as 30 miles. I think decreased face to face interactions, the
hectic nature of modern day life, decreased “together time” of the American family
and basically a softening of the American male due to technology are mostly to
blame,” says Pyles. While completing the course, participants will hear
revolution era music and see the Old Glory flying high. They will feel the
ground rumble under their feet from cannon blast, while being a little cold and uncomfortable in
hopes to remind them of what are founding Patriots endured and sacraficed for the
freedoms we enjoy today.
Participants can run or march through the 5 k picturesque
trails, old farm roads, brisk streams and rolling hills while being right in
the middle of a Live Revolutionary War
Reenactment. Participants aren’t competing against each other for time but
are competing against their own will power. There is even an optional barefoot leg
of the track for those who really want to test their heart and show their
Patriotism. For those who don’t wish to complete the course they can purchase a
spectator ticket to watch the reenactment and participants.
Tickets can be purchased online: Participant Ticket-$35 Spectator Ticket-$10
