Description
Event Information:
The Sweetheart 5k will add a new element of excitement to road racing by offering a couples category. Any couples that pre-register for the race will be eligible for additional prizes in our "Sweetheart Division" as we try to find the fastest couples in eastern North Carolina. Come join us for the fun and festivities!

Proceeds from the Sweetheart 5K will benefit the Rocky Mount Friends of Little League Baseball, Inc. The RMFLLB support the Rocky Mount Parks and Recreation Department Athletic Division Youth Sport programs by providing funding for athletic equipment, supplies, and facility improvements.

Course Description:
  • Both Candlewood and Greystone neighborhoods are favorites to the local runners. The quiet, tree-lined streets are some of the most peaceful places to run. Gentle rolling hills offer a change of pace from what is normally found in Rocky Mount.

    5k participants begin at the entrance to the Candlewood neighborhood by Sunset Avenue. Runners will line up beside the Batts, Batts, & Bell, LLP building and will start promptly at 8:00 a.m.

    5k and 1-Mile Fun Run
