Support local natural areas and wildlife at the Rock Springs Ramble!
Support local natural areas and wildlife at the Rock Springs Ramble, featuring a 5K Run/Walk and 1/4 mile Kids’ Fun Run!
This fundraiser supports the Macon County Conservation Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps fund natural area restoration and educational programs at the Macon County Conservation District, and the Rock Springs Nature Center.
The Macon County Conservation Foundation wants to highlight the importance of natural areas and our need for fresh air and space in nature. By registering to run or walk, you support these natural areas and their wildlife.
Race Swag
Those registered for the 5K will receive a finisher’s medal, t-shirt, and a tote bag. Hand-painted wildlife rocks (created by local artist Sheryl Polley) will be awarded to top 5K finishers in each age group. Children registered for the Kids’ Fun Run will receive a tree cookie medal and a nature grab bag item.
All registrants will also receive a meal and a drink from the post-race bloody mary and mimosa bar as part of their race registration. Additional drinks will be available for purchase.
Packet Pickup
Race packets and race swag will be available beginning May 19th. Post-race, registered participants may pick up their items at their convenience from inside Rock Springs Nature Center, any time during Nature Center hours.
Registration
Registration is $35 for the 5K Run/Walk, $10 for the Kids’ Fun Run, and $70 for the Rock Springs Ramble Challenge (both the 5k and 1 mile).
Online and race day registration available.
