5 walking events in Clemmons, North Carolina

Spring training is here!

We are excited to be training after a cold and icy winter!

We have been offering beginner 5K training since we first opened in 2006. Our award-winning training program has been recognized for its excellence by New Balance Incorporated. We design our training for the true beginner and help you transition from walking to running. We use interval training (a mix of walking and running) so that your body learns to adapt to longer run intervals over time. By the end of the 8 weeks of training, you will be amazed at how much progress you have made!

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/
