After four years of stampeding for student success at Gaston College, we’re proud to build on our partnership with K-12 public schools in Gaston and Lincoln Counties for an even bigger, better RHINO RUN FOR EDUCATION.
Whether you are an avid runner, would like to cheer on others, or encourage runners to attend, we would love for you to join us for this year's run as we try to make it our biggest ever!
This community event, held at Gaston College’s beautiful Dallas campus, features a 5K run and a 2K walk or fun run. When you register, you can choose to designate a portion of your registration fee to directly support to Gaston College, Gaston County Schools, Lincoln County Schools, Lincoln Charter School, or Piedmont Community Charter School.
Bring the whole family and help us continue to build momentum in our community and schools!
This race event will include music from Gaston College’s WSGE Radio Station, local food/coffee trucks, and more.
Register by August 31, 2025, to guarantee a race t-shirt.
All participant results are based on the chip time from the individual runner crossing the start and finish lines. The 5K Run Course is USATF Certified: #NC21011DF
Age group and overall winners for the 5K will be recognized at the post-event awards ceremony.
Cost: $40 per runner, with 20% of every ticket sold supporting the respective student's school (specifically Lincoln or Gaston County). If you are a runner and not connected to a student, you can choose for your 20% to benefit Gaston College, WSGE, or one of the Gaston/Lincoln County schools.
