About the Event

Come join the Rock Ridge community in a time honored tradition that winds thru the scenic roads surrounding our lake the Sunday before Thanksgiving.  This will be our 6th year hosting the legendary race, which has brought folks in from all over the globe in years past.  Bring the kids and they can participate in a short race after the 5K and collect some goodies afterwards.  Even if you have plans later this day to start prepping your bird, running a few miles in the morning and helping out a local lake community can only make you feel better about yourself.  Awards will be handed out to the fastest overall adult/child. Who knows there may even be an unscheduled cold plunge...

Where do I run/walk?

What should I wear?

What if I have kids who want to participate but they can't run 3 miles?

What if I am an adult who is not interesting in running 3.1 miles but I am looking to walk with my friends and start a new tradition?

Will there be any awards or prizes giveaway?

How can we help others during the Turkey Holiday Season?

Rock Ridge Community Club is a member-based, volunteer run organization based in Denville, New Jersey. For more information or membership inquiries, feel free to consult our website - https://www.rockridgelake.com/
