Charity Partner

The charity partner for the Java Jog 5K/10K is NoaStrong. 

Noa Ramirez, at 16-months old, was diagnosed with Leukemia. 

She has a long road to recovery that will include weekly treatments for the first 6 months and then monthly treatments for the next 2 years. Between these treatments and Lucas’s job as a Dawson County firefighter, Kaleigh has had to stop working for the time being so that she can care for her daughter. Any donation will be greatly appreciated!


Both Kaleigh and Lucas are always the first to step in and help others when needed and now it is our turn to help them.


Please keep Noa and the entire Ramirez family in your prayers as they begin to navigate this journey.

Description

Cold crisp mornings are a regular thing…come by Rock Creek to watch a beautiful sunrise and enjoy a Flat & Fast 5K/10K

The Java Jog 5K/10K is a 5K out-and-back course. The 10K athletes do it twice. Those caffeine-junky Espresso Challenge athletes do the 5K then the 10K, making it a 15K morning!

The 5K, starting at 8:00 AM & the 10K will start at 8:30 AM.  We'll have Finisher Medals, a Long Sleeve Shirt, and great awards for the Top 3 Overall M/F, Top 3 Overall Masters M/F, Top 3 Overall Grand Master M/F, Top 3 Overall Senior Master M/F, and the Top 3 in the 5 year age groups (10 & under - 75+). What a great way to start the day with a RUN & DEFINITELY COFFEE! 

 

If you think you’re up to it…try the  Espresso Challenge. It’s the 5K then the 10K.  You’ll have a shot at both sets of awards as you complete 15 total Kilometers.

Join us live or virtual; virtual packages will be shipped Monday after Race Day.
