Good morning runners,
First and foremost, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible support shown for the 1st Annual Driveway Doc 5K in honor of Matt Roberson. With over 350 runners registered, it’s clear that Matt’s life touched so many of us deeply. Your participation is a testament to the lasting impact he had on our community.
After discussions with local authorities and our hosts at the Powdersville YMCA, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the race due to safety concerns related to the impending weather. The safety of our runners, volunteers, and spectators is our top priority, and we believe this decision reflects our commitment to ensuring a safe and enjoyable event for everyone involved.
We are pleased to announce that the race has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 8th, with a start time of 2:00 PM. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work through these changes. Please stay safe this weekend, and we look forward to seeing you at the starting line in February!

The Driveway Doc: A Tribute to Dr. Matt Roberson
Join us in honoring the life of Dr. Matt Roberson, a beloved Powdersville/Piedmont community member and orthopedic surgeon.
Matt was renowned for his unwavering kindness and dedication to helping others. His generosity extended far beyond the operating room, as he often provided medical care and advice to his neighbors, particularly the young athletes from the nearby Wren Youth Association, often directly from his driveway. Matt showed what it means to be kind and to serve his neighbor.
Tragically, Matt passed away from colon cancer in January, leaving behind a grieving family and a community in shock. To honor his legacy, we are hosting the "Driveway Doc: Matt Roberson Memorial 5K." This event aims to celebrate Matt's life and continue his spirit of giving by supporting Let There Be Mom and the Powdersville YMCA, two organizations that were very close to Matt’s heart. Let's come together to remember a remarkable man and the character traits that we should all strive to emulate.
