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.

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.
