Description

 - 2016 Rocky's Run for Freedom 5K Run/Walk is a road race held each year on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in honor of Miamisburg native, Marine Cpl. Paul "Rocky" Zanowick II who made the ultimate sacrifice while serving in AFghanistan on June 3, 2011 and all of our military service members that have been killed in action. Our mission is to keep Rocky's memory alive, along with all of Fallen Heroes, and to remind the community about the true meaning and cost of Memorial Day. Rocky's Run for Freedom donates all of the money raised through registration, silent auction, and sponorships to organizations that are military-related, help develop strong moral character in young children, and a trust fund set up for the son that Rocky left behind. We will have the professional skydiving team Team Fastrax jumping in with flags during the National Anthem, an amazing silent auction, and lots of American pride on display!

Course Info


The course starts at Harmon Field (where you can have a great view of the skydivers landing!) and is a straight out and back course with some slight hills along the route.
