Community - General Public
Fun Run for Charities has something for everyone! A sanctioned 5k run, a sanctioned 10k run and a run for the rest of us.... including those who prefer to walk, push a stroller or just run for fun!
The purpose of the Fun Run is two fold. First, we want an event that everyone can enjoy. Second, we want to raise lots of money for needy organizations, to improve the quality of life in Rocky Mount.
Fun Run for Charities is sponsored by Reach Out Rocky Mount, a diverse group of citizens dedicated to the idea that Rocky Mount’s best days are yet to come and that, together, we can make a better community for all.
When you participate and give to Fun Run for Charities, you’re money goes farther!
Reach Out Rocky Mount has a challenge for every person and every non-profit organization in Rocky Mount. To give, click here. To register to run, click here.
