Rural Outreach Center

A portion of every registration will be donated to the Rural Outreach Center. Please help this worthy organization through your additional donation.

Based in East Aurora, ROC’s mission is to break the cycle of rural poverty by accompanying people towards self-sufficiency. We assist, empower, and elevate.

There are over 40,000 people in poverty in the southern WNY zip codes we serve. Rural poverty is called the invisible poverty because it is hidden and dispersed across a wide geographic area, making it difficult to provide services. The ROC is here to fill that service gap.

For more information on their programs, please visit their website at https://theroc.co/ or click the logo.

- use a premeasured course.

- treadmills and bike trainer programs are allowed if they provide distance.
- NOT ALLOWED - daily steps accumulated on a fitness app or golfing, etc. - not primary activity.
- NOT ALLOWED - converted miles, ie: estimating how far you would have run based on how much time was spent biking.

Yes, you can always go back to a prior day and enter your mileage. Be sure to change the activity date on the entry form for each prior entry otherwise the entries will over-write the previous one.
