Rock The Pavement

Thank you for your interest in Rock the Pavement. After an incredible five year run, we’ve decided not to move forward with the Rock the Pavement event this year in order to focus on an important and exciting cookbook project for the MD community, featuring healthy recipes and family stories. Thanks to generous support from people like you, the Greg Marzolf Jr. Foundation was able to raise $168,000 for MD research over five years with Rock the Pavement.  We haven’t yet made a final decision on whether the race will be returning in a future year, but we’ll keep you posted on our future plans.  Thanks again for your support! See below for details from our 2018 Rock The Pavement Event.
