JJ 5K

The JJ5K is an annual trail running event held in Stanley, North Carolina, at Common Ground. This beginner-friendly race features a 5K timed trail run primarily on grass and dirt paths, making it suitable for both adults and children. In addition to the timed 5K run, participants can join a 1-mile walk or a non-timed 5K walk.

The event supports a $2,000 scholarship in memory of Jerrica Jade Helderman, honoring her legacy of teamwork and community spirit. All registrants receive a free t-shirt, and awards are given to overall male and female winners across various age divisions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
