Thanks to the generosity, dedication, and passion of our participants, sponsors, volunteers, and supporters, the SudburyROCKS!!! Race raised $115,052.73 through participant fundraising and event proceeds in support of cancer care at the HSN Foundation. Every dollar raised helps enhance care, treatment, and support for patients and families across our community. Thank you for making a difference and helping us move cancer care forward, one step at a time. Since choosing the HSN Foundation as our recipient charity in 2019 the race has raised $600,000.

Save the date! The 2027 SudburyROCKS!!! Race will take place on Sunday May 30th, registration opening this fall.

Here are the points leaders heading into the final event. Some great battles shaping up! The overall men's title is still up for grabs and there are some tight age group races. There's a dead heat in the M13-19 category and some very close categories on the women's side. Shout out to the Laakso family who are leading or within striking distance in 4 different age categories! See you all at Thanksgiving. GOBBLE GOBBLE. Neil
