Race Overview
The second annual Rocky Neck 5K Run/Walk, sponsored by the Rocky Neck Art Colony to benefit Gloucester’s Rocky Neck Cultural District and the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck Building Fund, takes place on Sunday, May 17, 2015 and for the first time this year includes a Team Challenge. The USATF-sanctioned race will take off from the Causeway on Rocky Neck and return by way of Gloucester’s ocean-rimmed Back Shore to finish on Rocky Neck, where participants will be treated to a celebratory post-Race brunch and awards ceremony at The Studio Restaurant and Deck, overlooking picturesque Smith Cove on Gloucester Harbor. Individuals and teams—runners and walkers of all ages—are welcome. But everyone is urged to sign up soon, as participation in this year’s Race will be capped at 400.
The Rocky Neck 5K &Team Challenge will be a community ‘happening’ which benefits a neighborhood-based, volunteer organization committed to preserving Rocky Neck’s unique arts and maritime cultural heritage. And, it will be an event offering lots of FUN for lots of people! Nearly anyone can run or walk this event. Beginners can get a taste of what exercise and outdoor enjoyment bring. Experienced runners can sharpen their times on a forgiving course. Any kind of group will find it especially rewarding to compete as a team and/or with family and friends.
The Cultural Center at Rocky Neck, 6 Wonson St., will serve as Race headquarters, where packet pickup will take place on the morning of the Race. Parking will be along the streets and in designated public and private lots on and around Rocky Neck, where volunteers will be positioned to assist visitors in locating a spot. There will be space available in Rocky Neck Park along the Causeway for individuals and teams to meet up and warm up before the Race.
