The Twisted Twig 5K is a run/walk event along with a Kids Run, created in partnership with Copper City Fitness. This event is especially meaningful as 100% of proceeds benefit the Rome Twigs, a longstanding volunteer organization supporting Rome Health in Rome, NY.
Founded in 1907, the Rome Twigs include over 100 members across 12 branches and play a vital role in funding hospital equipment, operating the hospital gift shop, and organizing the annual Tree of Lights campaign, among many other initiatives. This 5K is a new, community-driven fundraising effort designed to bring people together for fitness, fun, and a great cause.
Pricing: 5K - $40 per participant plus processing. Kids Obstacle Fun Run: $10 per participant plus processing
Post race party with a live band, food trucks, vendors, and more
