Race Information

The Labor Day Run/Ruck offers a festive and inclusive running experience set in the scenic, shaded trails of Queeny Park. Participants can choose from a 1‑mile fun run, 5K, 10K, or half‑marathon distance, all featuring professional chip timing, aid stations, and a lively finish‑line atmosphere. Finishers receive custom medals and the popular Rockinator Racing neck buff, with post‑race refreshments and music to celebrate achievements. Hosted alongside a fundraising option benefiting the Rockwoods School District Cross‑Country program, the Run/Ruck delivers a rewarding blend of community spirit, scenic running, and charitable support.
