License to Fly 5k

Join us in Historic Downtown Dunn for the first installment of the Rock the Run 5k. This is in conjunction with the Lucknow Music Festival which will be held later in the day. The course will be flat and fast and temperatures this time of year are generally favorable for faster racing. The race will start behind Sherry's Bakery on Edgerton wind it's way through some residential sections of Dunn and finish in front of the Link Wray Mural. Proceeds from the race will go to the Downtown Dunn Development Corporation.

Medals will be presented to the top 3 overall female and male. Age group medals will be given to females and males based on USAT&F 10 year groupings: 14 and under, 15-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70 and up.

This is the 15th Isaiah 40:31 Run hosted by the Upper School Student Council to raise funds for our gift to the school. In past years, we have been able to purchase a permanently mounted sound system for our gym, over 300 chairs and the racks for storing them, a portable stage, and a portable sound system for our Praise and Worship Team. This year, we would like to put our profits towards the purchase of a digital sign that would be located on our property next to Highway 421.

All runners who enter either the certified 5K race or the 1-Mile Color Run will receive a t-shirt. Participants must register by April 1 to be guaranteed a t-shirt. After April 1, any additional t-shirts will only be available on race day on a first-come, first-served basis.
