Event Information
About This Event
Come join us for the inaugural Rock My Socks 5K road race with the start/finish line located at The Rock Church campus in Bangor. Race proceeds benefit TRC Student Ministries.
A Sport-Tek running shirt is provided to the first 100 registrants.
This race WILL be timed! Custom bib numbers will be issued, and RaceWire’s manual web-based (non-chip) timing interface will be used with results by age-group immediately posted online, and sent via text alerts. As runners ourselves, we take professional race results very seriously. This event is meant to be fun, but we also know runners are serious about being properly recognized for their efforts. Come join the fun, and shoot for that 5K PR in the process!
Don't forget to Rock Your Socks on RACE Day! Prizes will be awarded for the wackiest and most creative socks worn. More details to come.
