Running ROCKS Race Series for Adults and Kids

Participating in a race series through a running club is a great way to keep yourself motivated all year and to feel part of a team. Having and publishing a race series also promotes and boosts participation in these races, which in turn helps the charity they support or their local economy. Not a member of Running ROCKS?

Marathon ROCKS

Many of our Running ROCKS members are alumni of Marathon ROCKS, a noncompetitive, fully supportive marathon training program that raises money for Easton ROCKS After School programs and the YMCA Teen and Family Center. Marathon ROCKS is a formal team that gets beginning to seasoned runners ready for a nationally known race; this year we will be competing in Rock-n-Roll Philadelphia and the Marine Corps Marathon. Do something good for yourself as you help the hundreds of kids who look to Easton ROCKS and the YMCA for something positive and productive to do after school. To learn more, click here.
