This is the 22nd anniversary of the Lory's Place Run, Walk and Rock to benefit Lory's Place, a Grief Healing and Education Center. Every year, Lory’s Place is honored and grateful for the community’s support of Run Walk Rock. All of the programs and services at Lory’s Place are available at no charge. That means that no child or adult is ever turned away because of an inability to pay. The children, adults, and families who are part of Lory’s Place join us in expressing deepest gratitude to you for supporting our mission of grief healing.
Rally your teammates and bring the energy! Thanks to Mar‑Co Packaging, the school athletic team or sports organization with the highest number of registered participants will take home a $500 prize. Gather your group and claim the top spot!
Students, teachers, staff, and administrators—this is your moment! Represent your school in the 5K walk or run for a chance to win the coveted “Champions for Children” traveling trophy plus $500 from Mar‑Co Packaging. Don’t forget to indicate your school or grade on the registration form so every step counts toward the competition!
If you are registering a group of four or more participants, you will receive a $5.00 discount per registrant. If you have a large group of people, please give us a call for additional registration options.
When arriving at the event take Momany Drive and turn left on Upton, proceeding to any available Whirlpool lot. Please do not take Upton/Klock Road (at the stop light).
Feeling lucky? Drop the tag from the bottom of your bib into one of the raffle boxes at the registration tables for a chance to win a classic white Rocking Chair. All ages are welcome to enter—everyone has a shot!
Push for the finish line! Custom Lory’s Place Run Walk Rock medals will be awarded to the top three male and female finishers in ten different age groups for both runners and walkers.
