Charity Walk/Run for American Cancer Society – July 31st!
Many of us, including petrol-heads like those at Gran Touring Motorsports, have been affected by cancer in some form or another. And since we all want to live life at 7000 rpms all the time! That got us thinking… what better way to bring support and awareness for cancer research than through a Motorsports inspired Walk/Run!

In partnership with Summit Point Motorsports Park and AutoInterests (AI), we’re working with the American Cancer Society (ACS) to host a Shenandoah Track Walk/Run, as part of our Summer Bash #7 Celebration at AI’s “Summer Camp” Event at Summit Point on July 31st, 2021.

You can sign up (and create fundraising teams) to help us meet our $5000 goal for ACS, using the following link https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/gtm-shenandoah-walkrun – and remember, if you can’t be present, send dead presidents. Additional details can be found on our website: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/about/charity-event/

It’s our birthday party, therefore we’ll have giveaways, prizes, food trucks and more! If you’re interested in setting up a booth at this event we are accepting applications for folks to be vendors as part of the day. There are no booth fees. Please reach out to us at crewchief@gtmotorsports.org for more details.

If you’re not driving in this event, you can come to Summit Point (Shenandoah Circuit) anytime Saturday the 31st; but exhibits will not be ready until after lunch; and the walk/run won’t start until the evening when the track goes cold. If you come early there will be opportunities for ride-alongs as well! The event schedule will be listed on www.paddock-pal.com – so check often for details on the event, the venue and more! (look 90 days out for the listing).

All proceeds from this event will go to ACS in honor of many of our Motorsports folks that are recovering, recovered or didn’t cross the start/finish line due to cancer. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out to Dan Stauffer, Mountain Region Chief for GTM at dan@gtmotorsports.org
