Rotary Club of Kernersville 4th of July 5K Run – Saturday, July 1, 2023

Kernersville, NC

In 1997, we began an annual 4th of July 5K Race that precedes the 4th of July Parade. The route follows the parade route through downtown, so participants get a chance to run before a large, cheering crowd. Thanks to generous sponsors as well as entry fees, this is one of our club’s largest fundraisers of the year.  Proceeds go to support the many projects our club manages to benefit the local community.

Moonlight Madness 5k & Monster Mile* – Friday, September 15, 2023

Winston-Salem NC

The Moonlight Madness 5K & Monster Mile is a great way to end the summer. The timed Monster Mile AND the Two-Headed Monster is back this year at Bailey Park!  The course is an evening event where some of our fastest finishes have been recorded. But this event is also for the less serious running crowd. Grab your friends and dress in your best glow outfit and party like it’s 1999.

Cannonball Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K* – October 13 & 14, 2023
Greensboro, NC

The Cannonball is one of the longest-running endurance events in North Carolina. It features the “DOUBLE BARREL” challenge with the 5K on Friday evening so you can run the 5K AND either the 10K, half or full on Saturday. Two parties plus extra medals and schwag!

We have seen blazing fast times in previous years for the half, but don’t be fooled the course isn’t a walk in the park. The race is also perfect for the beginner runner because of the gorgeous scenery. The backdrop for the race is Country Park and the beautiful north Greensboro countryside.  Country Park, with the Greensboro Science Center next door, is a great place for the family to hang out listen to our live band while you run.

*DOUBLE POINTS OPPORTUNITY!
