Saturday, May 9 ( 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 15th 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 2026 beneficiary, Sunnyside Ministry! 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 15th 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 2026 event will support Sunnyside Ministry. For those unfamiliar with their work, Sunnyside Ministry is a local Christian nonprofit that offers a variety of services to our neighbors. Most notably, SM operates a food pantry and clothing closet, provides financial assistance during crises, and offers ongoing financial education programs intended to empower participants.

We are grateful to partner with Sunnyside Ministry this season and look forward to helping them welcome, serve, and love our neighbors in need. Thank you for considering joining us in this support by running, walking, volunteering, sponsoring, or donating through the ROCC Sunnyside Ministry 5K on May 19, 2026. https://sunnysideministry.org/

Welcome to the 23rd Annual Kids for Kids Triathlon!

Our mission is to introduce kids to the sport of Triathlon and in safe and fun environment.

Many thanks to all the sponsors and volunteers without whom this race would not be possible.

Over $120,000 given to local Kid's Charities in 20 years!

Race Information

7-10 Years Old

Swim: 100 meters

Bike: 3.1 miles

Run: 0.6 miles

11-15 Years Old

Swim: 200 meter

Bike: 6.2 miles

Run: 1.2 miles

This event is a part of the NC Junior Triathlon Series. This means that all participants will be aged-up by USAT rules - their age by 12/31/26. This keeps all kids in the same age group through the series. If your child is 10 and will turn 11 by 12/31, then they will be in the 11-15 age group. You are welcome to "age down" and keep your child in the younger age group if that distance is more comfortable, just be aware that they will not be eligible for awards if they age down. The only kids are allowed to age down are kids who will be the age of the group on race day. For example, if your USAT age puts you in the 11-15 category, but your age on race day is 10, then you can age down. If your age on race day matches the USAT age, then you cannot age down. If you choose to age down, email hope@jonesracingcompany.com so she can make this change for you.

The organizers roll 100% of the proceeds back into the race, or to local charities with a priority to brain cancer initiatives.
