We’re drinking coffee and tidying up the start/finish area, but wanted to drop a quick thanks to all of our hosts, volunteers, participants, and sponsors who made the 2025 ROTB a success. Because of you, we were able to give more than $100k to Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest NC. They’ll magically turn that into 600k meals for our neighbors who need it the most. That’s a big deal.
