Events
Rock The Doc 5K & 1K Fun Run
Rock The Doc 5K/1K is more than just a run, but also a celebration of service, community and legacy. This event honors the life of Dr. Robert J. Dennington, Little Elm’s first Orthodontist, esteemed community leader and longtime resident. Dr. Dennington, affectionately known as “Doc,” was deeply committed to serving Little Elm, the town he loved so much, before his passing from lymphoma in 2008. This race celebrates our beloved local leader’s life, service and the lasting impact he made in the community.
Rock the Doc is all about bringing our community together for a great cause, while continuing to build the energy and culture that makes NTX RR so special! Whether you're walking, running, cheering or just enjoying the lively atmosphere, it's a great way to start your Saturday surrounded by family, friends and runners/walkers of all ages! Register today and don't miss out on the fun!
Proceeds from this event benefits the Little Elm Area Food Bank, who has provided emergency food assistance to local families since 1984.
