For 10 years, the The Ranney Run 5K Race has shown what can happen when a community comes together for a cause. This year, proceeds are supporting the S.A.V.E. Campaign and helping fund Rolla’s new animal shelter.

From an economic development perspective, investments like this matter. Community amenities, quality-of-life projects and well-supported public spaces help create a community where people want to live, work and invest.

The Ranney Run is more than a race; it’s an example of community investment helping build a stronger Rolla.
