Rock & Run
Rock & Run is a 5K event held on October 11, 2026, at Graniterock - A.R. Wilson Quarry in Aromas, California. The race takes place inside a working hard rock quarry that opens to the community for one day each year, giving participants access to parts of the site not normally open to the public.
The route passes alongside towering quarry walls, ancient granite deposits described as formed millions of years ago, and large construction equipment used on site. The event highlights how Graniterock combines modern mining, environmental stewardship, and responsible land management to produce construction materials.
All proceeds from the event benefit Aromas School and San Juan Elementary School. Registration opens June 18, 2026, and a registration fee of $35.00 is listed.
The description provided by the organizer emphasizes the quarry setting and its industrial and geological features. The event is presented as a chance to see operations and features of a long-established quarry that the organizer states has helped build California for more than 126 years.
