Rockcastle Regional Hospital invites you to the third annual Run, Bike or Hike on August 25, 2012. This event includes the 2-Mile Fun Walk, 5K Run by the Lake and the Rockcastle Duathlon. Start time is 8 a.m. EST. The event is designed to promote community fitness, and to give Southern Kentuckians the opportunity to enjoy a morning by a beautiful lake and amidst the breathtaking countryside of Rockcastle County.

All events will begin at the Lake Linville Park & Recreational area. From I-75 exit 62, follow Richmond St./N. Wilderness Rd. to Lake Linville Rd. Follow approximately 1.9 miles.

Proceeds from the race will benefit the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge in Lexington, Ky. The Hope Lodge provides free overnight lodging for cancer patients and their caregivers. In 2011, we were able to donate $1,500 to the Hope Lodge.

When you finish your 5K, you'll transition directly into the 16.8 mile bike ride, then you'll go on a 2.2-mile run down the south side of Lake Linville, finishing back at the starting area.
