Saturday, May 10 ( 8:00 a.m.) Runners and walkers will once again travel 3.1 miles along the mostly flat, fast, and straight course of Lewisville-Clemmons Road in the 14th annual ROCC 5K. It’s the perfect setting for your first, next, or best 5K road race. Enjoy the unique offerings of free childcare (infant thru K), free race photos, and a kid's fun zone, as you help to support the 2024 beneficiary, World Relief Triad! Volunteers are needed! Register to participate, volunteer, sponsor, or donate today at runsignup.com.

And once again, the ROCC 5K will award unique age group awards to the top three in each age group and continue to reward cash prizes ($175 - $125 - $75) to the overall winners (male / female, 1-3). Just a few reasons why the ROCC 5K is a perfect course for the first-time runner/walker and the local elite. 

Along with the 14th Annual 5K, the ROCC Kid’s Fun Run will be held at approximately 9:00 AM. Announcements will be made and opportunities provided for runners to retrieve children from childcare or the fun zone, and assemble along the north side of the church lot, near the office entrance. Kid’s run through the back property and along the ROCC prayer trail, returning to the front of the church parking lot and making their way through the 5K finish line chute. The distance is approximately 1/4 - 1/2 mile. No registration is required. 5K awards and door prizes will begin at 9:15 AM.

While the ROCC 5K has always strived to host a best-in-class race experience with the utmost hospitality, our heart is always tied to the support we provide each year's beneficiary. The 2025 event will support World Relief Triad. For those unfamiliar with their work, World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization that began over 80 years ago. Initially formed to bring aid to war-torn Europe after WWII, it now serves in over 15 countries around the world and 24 locations within the U.S. World Relief exists to bring hope and lasting change to those in vulnerable situations impacted by mass displacement, extreme poverty, and natural disasters.

For over 35 years, World Relief Triad (WRT) has resettled over 11,000 refugees from 50+ countries, providing much-needed services and Christ-like compassion to displaced people admitted through the US Refugee Resettlement Program. From resettlement services to medical needs, employment assistance, church/community outreach, and legal aid, WRT is a first touch for those fleeing violence, persecution, or war. To meet the varied and often urgent needs, WRT collaborates closely with local partners, donors, and volunteers to ensure families feel welcomed and supported in their new life in our community.

We are grateful to partner with World Relief Triad this season and look forward to helping them welcome, serve, and love some of our newest neighbors. Thank you for considering joining us in this support by running, walking, volunteering, sponsoring, or donating through the ROCC World Relief Triad 5K on May 10, 2025. https://worldrelief.org/triad/
