Several streets in downtown Concord will be closed Wednesday evening for the 23rd annual Rock’N Race, a fundraiser supporting cancer programs and services for patients and their families.
The race, which will begin at 6 p.m. and raises funds for the Concord Hospital Payson Center for Cancer Care, is expected to draw thousands of runners for a 5K or a shorter 1-mile loop through downtown Concord.
Last year, more than 3,200 participants helped raise over $339,000 for the center.
