Run to the Rock

Over 1,000 runners cross the finish line each September at the annual Run To The Rock Half Marathon, 10K & 5K, which takes runners from the Miles Standish State Forest on a course northward toward the home of the famous landmark Plymouth Rock, where pilgrims on the Mayflower landed in the early 1600s.

Now something of a local tradition in this town located about 40 miles south of Boston in the area known as the South Shore near Cape Cod, the race raises money for and awareness of Plymouth’s Boys & Girls Club After School fitness programs.

Our mission is the Boys & Girls Club of America Movement’s reason for being:

To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. The Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth will provide area youth with activities designed to build self-esteem, develop leadership skills, and promote positive life choices.

Our Vision
The Boys & Girls Club of Plymouth envisions a future in which the Boys & Girls Club Movement is a catalyst for an age in which success is within the reach of every child, and whole generations of children are inspired to a new level of civic engagement not seen since the founding of our nation.
