Course Info
This certified 5k course runs through the Candlewood and Greystone communities of Rocky Mount. Both Candlewood and Greystone neighborhoods are favorites to the local runners. The quiet, tree-lined streets are some of the most peaceful places to run. Gentle rolling hills offer a change of pace from what is normally found in Rocky Mount.
