This year 2026 ROC has decided to not hold the Good Friday Fletchers Challenge as with the dissolving of ROC it would be impossible to organize an event this year.. However; Frontrunners along with Pacific Sports are looking very seriously at taking the run on for 2027 with the expectation that it will return at good as ever if not better.. so as we pass it on to them ROC needs to thank our volunteers over these past years as well as our tremendous sponsors. GOLD SPONSORS: Central Drugs, Goldstream Gazette, H2 Accelerator, Laird Wheaton GM, Nanaimo News Bulletin, Proline Management, Times Colonist,.... SILVER SPONSORS: Country Grocers, DBL Disposal Services, Frontrunners Nanaimo, Gloves Studios, Code Brew, MJR Tree Services, Mosaic Forest, Salon D................................................ BRONZE SPONSORS: GU Energy, Startling Timing, Salomon.. without all your support over these past years many of our goals and objectives could not have been met.. so on behalf of all of us thank you to our sponsors and volunteers. Regards..

Today March 28 2026 at around 11 a.m. a motion was passed at the AGM to dissolve ROC Nanaimo Chapter as a society.. after 23 years of tremendous experiences friendships volunteerism and running we are calling it a day.. It was a sad day but also filled with shared stories of past experiences that in reflection made us proud of the financial contribution we had had in the community supporting underprivileged youth in sports.. made us laugh and smile of past runs trips and falls.. getting lost and splashing through mud and water.. we still have some last minute items to put to bed like thanking all our sponsors over these past years and making one last financial contribution of our funds after expenses to support youth in the community.. there will be additional posts this week but we will also be taking down the page and ROC and Routes.. if you have a special memory you would like to share do so in the comments below.. it has been an honour to sit on the Board these past years and it has been a privilege to be part of ROC and having a positive impact in the community where we live.. We have had a great run !!! Happy Trails

Good morning ROC. Jan 10th is an important date in the future of ROC Nanaimo. We will start the day with a 9 a m get together at Westwood Lake for a EZ walk run on the local trails.. after this we will meet at Dufferin Crescent school located at 1111 Dufferin Crescent at 10:30 to talk about " Is it time for ROC to fold its tents." Presently we are not asking for members to renew their membership for 2026.. our Saturday morning runs over this past year has been at best hit and miss with mostly miss.. We need feedback from our long time dedicated members do we continue or not.. Hope to see some of you on Jan 10th at Westwood and later at our face to face meeting at Country Grocery on Bowen Road.
