Burke Sunrise Rotary Strides for STRIVE 5K
The Burke Sunrise Rotary Strides for STRIVE 5K takes place on March 28, 2026 in Morganton, North Carolina. The paved 5K course runs through the campuses of Western Piedmont Community College, the NC School of Science and Math and the NC School for the Deaf, with the South Mountains visible in the background. A post-race breakfast will be served.
Proceeds fund scholarships for the STRIVE program, which supports students in the bottom third of their class who commit to improving their GPAs to pursue education after high school graduation.
A cotton-polyester blend short-sleeve t-shirt is included with entry. Shirt selections can be guaranteed for those who register on or before March 10. The event is chip timed and accommodates both competitive runners and participants who run or walk at a more leisurely pace.
Awards are given to the top overall male and female, top overall male and female masters (40 and over), and the top three male and female finishers in each age group: 13 and under, 14-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and over. Packet pickup and race-day registration are available at Western Piedmont Community College on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
