Rural Outreach Center

A portion of every registration will be donated to the Rural Outreach Center. Please help this worthy organization through your additional donation.

Based in East Aurora, ROC’s mission is to break the cycle of rural poverty by accompanying people towards self-sufficiency. We assist, empower, and elevate.

There are over 40,000 people in poverty in the southern WNY zip codes we serve. Rural poverty is called the invisible poverty because it is hidden and dispersed across a wide geographic area, making it difficult to provide services. The ROC is here to fill that service gap.

For more information on their programs, please visit their website at https://theroc.co/ or click the logo.

Do it for Fun, Do it for Bragging Rights! Participants will receive a personal login to enter daily mileage totals for the event. Check the maps and leader boards on the event page to see your progress and that of others.
