23rd Annual Bare Bones 5K & Fun Run
Since the first Bare Bones race, the Salisbury Rowan Runners have tried to give back a quality race to the surrounding running community. We work hard to hold the entry fee down, yet still provide a quality experience on race day. We appreciate all runners and walkers who attend our various race events during the year. Thank you!!! Bare Bones will be held in conjunction with Salisbury Parks & Recreation.

Got several pairs of old running shoes (or any kind of shoes) just sitting in your closet? Well, bring them to us on race day, and we will give them a new life. We will find them a new home by donating them to Rowan County's needy through Rowan Helping Ministries. It will help them and give you a cleaner closet too!

Finish Line Video - All runners and walkers will have an individual finish line video available online after the race.

Race Director - Reclaiming his race directorship this year is Wayne Crowder, Elvis look-a-like and one of the best runners ever in North Carolina. Look for him near the finish line! And get your Cosmic Brownie there too!

All proceeds benefit Relay for Life, a community based fundraising event of the American Cancer Society and donated shoes will be given to Rowan Helping Ministries, a not-for-profit volunteer-based corporation which operates human service programs to assist the economically disadvantaged.
