And while the rain clouds have formed over Hagerstown today and tomorrow, we’re optimistic about a gorgeous day for our race on Saturday.

Our Rock the Run 5K is this Saturday, April 27th at 9am at Fairgrounds Park (351 N. Cleveland Ave) in Hagerstown.

Registration is still open and only $25 from now through the 26th. We will have race day registration for $30.

Don’t forget to register the whole family! In addition to our 5K we’re hosting a one mile Kids Fun Run for only $5!

Our Rock the Run 5K: Pirates vs Princess is a great activity for your whole family but also a perfect team building activity for your youth group, civic club, sports team, scout troop, co-workers and more. Dressing up like pirates, princesses, knights, and mermaids just adds to the fun and whimsy. To participate you do not need to dress up.

And we’re happy to have Heidi Feight return again this year to take professional pictures of you and your family or group in our photo booth area!

Our Rock the Run 5K isn’t just to have a fun morning activity for the community. It’s also a chance for us to raise support and awareness about all the various programs and services we provide year round for free to our neighbors in need.

And this year we’re kicking off a renovation and expansion project in our food services area at The Hope Center. We’re going to be totally remodeling our kitchen, dining room and pantry to better serve the hundreds of men, women and kids who come each day for meals. We’ve outgrown the space and we desperately need to expand so participating in our Rock the Run 5K is just another way for you to invest in your community!

And we promise you’re gonna have fun doing it! Go to http://www.rocktherunhagerstown.com to register today. And then invite your friends on social media to join you in racing for hope this Saturday, April 27th at Fairgrounds Park! All the info you’ll need about the 5K is on our website but if you need to talk to someone please call 301.739.1165.

We look forward to seeing the areas finest scallywags and royalty this Saturday as we race for hope!! Go to http://www.rocktherunhagerstown.com to register and learn more!

Everyone loves a pirate and a lot of us would love to be one. But unless you work at Disney World, talking like a pirate on a regular basis might draw some funny looks. Fortunately for all the wannabe scallywags out there, there are two days out of the year where it’s absolutely ok to be a pirate – and one of those days is today! It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!!

And the second pirate day, you ask? Well it’s our annual Rock the Run 5K: Pirates vs Princess! One Saturday a year Fairgrounds Park is overrun by pirates, princesses, knights, mermaids, and more running for fun and a great cause.

On Saturday, April 27th, 2019, anyone and everyone can dress up, act, and run like a pirate! This is your chance to show your pirate side and raise money for a great cause – helping us combat homelessness and hunger in Hagerstown.

We’re currently in the beginning stages of renovating our kitchen, dining, and pantry areas at The Hope Center. Our kitchen feeds hundreds of men, women, and kids a year. Meals are served to anyone in the community who is hungry – no matter age or housing status. But because of how many people we serve, we need to improve and expand our food services area. With a brand new, up-to-date kitchen, larger dining room and more efficient pantry, we’ll be able to help make sure no one in Hagerstown and the surrounding area are ever without something to eat.

Our sponsors and every person who registers to participate in our Rock the Run 5K: Pirates vs Princess will be a part of helping to feed the hungry in our community.

 

And who says helping those in need can’t be fun? That’s why we encourage each participant to dress up and invite their family and friends to join them. We even have a 1 mile Kids Fun Run for the smaller buccaneers in your family! From our photo booth, to kids activities, themed music and more, Rock the Run 5K: Pirates vs Princess is a legitimate race for hope with a fun twist.

So go ahead and mark your calendars now! Saturday, April 27th, 2019, at Fairgrounds Park in Hagerstown. For more info about our 5K please visit http://www.rocktherunhagerstown.com.

So to all you scallywags out there surrounded by landlubbers, happy Talk Like a Pirate Day! And we’ll see you and your best Jack Sparrow inspired self at Rock the Run this April!
