Join Us for the 6th annual Run Rock Run! set for Saturday, May 8, 2027

Rocky's generosity touched countless lives - now it is our turn to honor him by being generous.

Proceeds from the event will continue to help build the foundation to host this race in future years and also will enable Rocky’s family to continue his legacy of generosity as needs arise in the community! 

Proceeds from all sponsorships and race entries will be donated to Cornerstones of Hope.
