Lory's Place Run Walk Rock
Lory's Place Run Walk Rock is a community benefit 5K event held in Saint Joseph, Michigan to support Lory's Place, a grief healing and education center. The event marks its 22nd anniversary and raises funds so that all programs and services remain available at no charge.
Participants can choose between an in-person 5K run, a 5K walk, or a 5K virtual run or walk that may be completed through May 24. Early packet pickup is scheduled the day before at Lory's Place on Upton Drive; race day packet pickup is available at the event site.
The event publishes a staged fee schedule that begins with a Groundhog Day special and increases through subsequent registration windows. Group registration of four or more receives a five dollar discount per registrant. A school focused Champions for Children challenge awards a traveling trophy and a five hundred dollar prize from Mar-Co Packaging to the top school entry, and Mar-Co Packaging also awards five hundred dollars to the school athletic team or sports organization with the most participants.
A Rocking Chair raffle is open to all ages by entering the tag from the bottom of the bib at registration tables. Custom medals are awarded to the top three male and female finishers in ten age groups for both runners and walkers. The event location is 445 Upton Drive, Saint Joseph, MI 49085.
