Description The Rollin’ Stonehaven 5K is back and, as always, it’s Unofficial, Unsanctioned, and Slightly Organized! Mark the calendars for Saturday, November 14th, 2026 and get ready for the most neighborly fun you can have with a questionable permit and an abundance of community spirit. Event Info When: Saturday, November 14, 2026 — 9:00 AM Start (show up by 8:30 AM if you want to seem organized) Where: Rama Swim Club, 6109 Wheeler Drive How: Walk, Run, Bike, or Ruck — we don’t judge your style Registration: Sign up early for that slight illusion of order, but spontaneous arrivals welcome too Shirts: Get your unofficial event shirt! For sale on-site while supplies last (and probably taking “back-orders” on sticky notes if we run out) Cost: Free! Donations (think $5-$10 cash) happily accepted (it helps us pay for things like awards, staff, signs, and maybe an air horn) Why Attend? Because it’s unofficial — which means the fun is real but the rules are flexible! Because it’s unsanctioned — which means the only running police you’ll see is your neighbor in athletic shorts. Because it’s slightly organized — which means someone probably made a spreadsheet, but expects it to be ignored. Register now or just show up! All ages, paces, and levels of neighborliness welcome. Come for the run, stay for the laughs, and savor the chaos — Stonehaven style!

Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying the course with friends and loved ones, this event celebrates participation, perseverance, and community. 10K Team Predication Challenge Are you the person that locks into pacing? Time to prove it. Grab 3–5 of your favorite runners and create a team. Guys, girls, mixed teams, it doesn't matter. Fast runners, first-time runners, or any combination in between. Run together, split up, race hard, or enjoy the course side-by-side. Every strategy is fair game! Here's the twist: before the race, your team predicts your combined average finish time. Then, your mission is to run as close to that predicted average as possible. Sounds easy? Not so fast. No watches. No finish clock. No cheating. We'll even give you a wristband to cover your watch so you won't be tempted to peek... but don't worry, it'll still upload to Strava afterward. This isn't about who has the fastest team—it's about who knows their pace the best. Can you judge your effort over the rolling hills and terrain of a cross country 10K without any feedback? Every hill, every downhill, every decision matters. Whether you've been running for two weeks or two decades, this is a completely different kind of challenge. Experience helps, but so does teamwork, communication, and a little bit of intuition. Challenge your team. Inspire your community. Finish strong—together! Come out, get active, and be part of an event that promotes healthy living, community engagement, and fun for everyone. Lace up your shoes, bring your team, and let’s make this year’s race our biggest and best yet! Lace Up, Show Up, Hustle

Why Water? The global water crisis doesn’t always make headlines. But the truth is that it claims more lives each year than war. Globally, 1.8 billion people – that’s about one out of every four people – drink from contaminated water sources. Unsafe water leads to illnesses that claim the lives of 840,000 people each year, almost half of whom are children under the age of five. What’s more, women and children spend hours each day collecting water. This keeps them from school, work, and time with family. This keeps families and communities from learning, earning an income, and contributing to the local economy. All proceeds from the race will benefit the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Global Water Ministry. Race Course (see course map below): Runners and walkers will enjoy a 3.1 mile road course starting from Grace Lutheran Church parking lot and turning into the gently rolling neighborhood of Grace Ridge to loop through all three neighborhood phases of Grace Ridge. This race is for recreational runners and walkers as well as competitive runners. The fun run course will be held on Grace Lutheran property. Race Day Check-In: 7:00 a.m. - 8:20 a.m. on site. Race day registration will be 5k: $30, Fun Run: $5 5K Course Records: Male: 17:22 (2024), Female: 19:59 (2025) Awards - 5K: Overall Top 3 Male & Female and Overall Masters Male & Female awards will be given. $100 cash prize for first overall male/female, $50 cash prize for second/third overall male/female, and $50 cash prize for first overall male/female masters!

In April 2025, our sister, Mallory Mayor, was struck by a car while leaving a music festival in Boone. She was rushed to the hospital with a brain bleed, skull fracture, and broken femur. Since the accident, Mallory has made incredible strides in her recovery. Every day, she continues to work extremely hard toward regaining the abilities she had before her injury. One of Mallory’s biggest challenges following her traumatic brain injury (TBI) is aphasia, a condition that affects the brain’s ability to communicate through speech and language. While Mallory is able to speak, intensive outpatient speech and language therapy could make a tremendous difference in her continued recovery. However, insurance will not cover the therapy because it is not considered “medically necessary.” Mallory has been accepted into a program that is recognized as one of the best in the country. This program could be a crucial step toward helping her regain her full communication abilities, but it comes with a significant financial cost. Join the race to support Mallory’s continued recovery! We are incredibly proud of how far she has come and all the hard work she has put into her healing. With your support, Mallory can continue receiving the therapy she needs to make meaningful progress in her recovery! Every donation, registration, share, and word of encouragement makes a difference. Thank you for helping us support Mallory on her journey to recovery!

"tipping the balance between hope and despair" A Stroll into Light is the answer to the call we have all been ignoring for the longest time. The mental health epidemic, especially in adolescents, only receives attention when a tragedy has occurred or a life is lost. Stroll into Light is a recognition that each person is fighting their own battle each and every day. Whether that be anxiety, depression, or any mental health related issue, no one person should feel alone in their situation. As a community, we must support each other and advocate for peoples’ stories to be heard. At this candlelight event, each attendee will receive a candle to reflect and mourn as we walk side by side. Stroll into Light will also have an optional time to reflect, and there will also be an opportunity to receive hope from individuals who themselves have risen from the darkness to walk in the light of life! Please walk with us on Sunday, November 15th at Mount Tabor High School Track at 6:00 pm to be a part of the Fifth Annual “Stroll into Light.” Gathering will start at 5:00pm.
