Grace's Place Rock the Block Race
The event takes place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at the Washington Fairgrounds in Washington, MO 63090. It supports Grace's Place Emergency Shelter. The main solo option asks participants to complete 24 laps of a 0.7 mile loop. Alternatives include relay teams and a flexible entry called "Whatever K" for participants who wish to run or walk any number of laps. The event is organized by Rockinator Racing and uses chipped bibs, a timing system with additional manual timing, and finish-line photos. Medals are awarded to top finishers in each category. Prize baskets are awarded to the top three solo runners or teams that raise the most in pledges.
