Run The Rock: 5K+
Run The Rock is a trail event at Black Rock Retreat on a marked 6.07 km course that combines wooded trails, scenic overlooks, and rolling elevation changes. The course is described as moderate trail terrain with hills and elevation changes.
Two participation options are offered:
- Timed trail race: 6.07 km course (professionally timed)
- Untimed hiking option: same 6.07 km course, day-of registration available for hikers
Timed participants must register before race day; online registration closes at 12:00 p.m. (noon) on Friday, October 2. Hikers may register online before that deadline or register on event day. T-shirts are guaranteed for those registered by September 16. Every registered participant receives a goodie bag and sponsor vouchers and is entered to win a free week of summer camp at Black Rock.
Awards will be presented to overall men’s and women’s winners and to top finishers in each age division. Fees listed for the event are $35 per timed runner ($30 early bird through August 31) and $25 per hiker ($20 early bird through August 31). Children ages 6 and under participate free when accompanied by an adult; organizers request advance notice for those children. Sponsorship levels are available with benefits tied to recognition and complimentary registrations. The event is rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
