We’re returning to Fairgrounds Park on April 25th, 2020 for our 6th annual Rock the Run 5K and we hope to see even more pirates, princesses, mermaids, and knights!
Our Rock the Run 5K started in 2015 as a way to not only celebrate the 60th Diamond Anniversary of The Hope Center at Hagerstown Rescue Mission but also as a way to bring the community together to help raise support and awareness for the homeless and hungry in our community.
We didn’t hope to just celebrate a major milestone in our community, but also, give our community a fun way to be a part of the next 60 years of The Hope Center in Hagerstown. Each year we’ve succeeded in accomplishing our goal by bringing businesses, runners, walkers, competitors, and volunteers together to have fun, share some laughs, run a few miles, and raise money for those in need. And we know this year won’t be any different!
Registration is open!
Jan 15 – Feb 27 – $20
