The Sudbury Rocks!! Running Club began to take form in 1998 when a small core group started casually running and training together on a regular basis. By 2000, our numbers had grown considerably and a weekly email newsletter was instituted to provide the latest in running news to the group. By 2002 membership had grown to over 70 members. It then became apparent that a website was necessary if we were going to meet our objective of bringing fitness to more people. Now, years later, the website is going strong and we currently have over 100 members.
Our mission statement is to encourage and support the development of public participation in running for fitness, health and enjoyment.
Since our beginning in 2005 the SudburyRocks!!! Race has become Northern Ontario’s largest competitive running event. The annual run now draws more than 2000 participants. All made possible with the support and assistance of the City of Greater Sudbury, the Police services, numerous sponsors including our presenting sponsor IONIC Engineering and a dedicated team of faithful volunteers.
In 2019 Sudburyrocks!!! is entering into an adventurous new chapter with our run. We are teaming up with 1local dynamic charity to help drive our event and make an even greater impact in the community. The Northern Cancer Foundation has enthusiastically agreed to be our recipient charity for 2019 and beyond. We are very excited about the new partnership. Funds collected stay local so we can make a positive difference in our community.
We are now SUDBURYROCKS!!! Race-Run-Walk for the Health of it.
The SUDBURYROCKS!!! Race - Run - Walk for the Health of it offers a challenge not only to Sudbury residents, but to everyone. There is a choice for all comers. The kids get a free 1k and everyone else can choose any distance from the 5k, 10k, half marathon and marathon. The marathon is a Boston Qualifier and we even host a Team Marathon Relay, where teams of up to 8 people complete the full 42K marathon. All events (excluding the Team Marathon Relay) are walker friendly.
