- Winter Flight 2005, scheduled for Sunday, January 30th, had to be postponed due to snow. The Saturday afternoon prior to the race was spent by SRR members calling all the applicants to tell them of the new snow date. This was only the third time in 22 years that the winter race had to be rescheduled…once due to a measles outbreak and twice due to inclement weather. The event was rescheduled for Sunday, February 13th. The race was dedicated to the memory of SRR member Jo Ann Franklin who passed away on September 14, 2004. Overall winner of the Feb 13th race was Adam Lindsey (19) of Reidsville with a time of 27:43. Female winner was Julie Cox (27) of Winston-Salem with a time of 31:37. SRR’s Lynn Pitson (44) was the second overall female finisher with a time of 31:53 and SRR’s first male finisher was Gene Faller (35) who finished 3rd overall in 29:59. Winter Flight 2005 raised $10,680 for Godstock.
- Salisbury-Rowan Runners held its annual Bare Bones Memorial Weekend 5K at Knox Middle School on May 28th. 180 runners and walkers showed up to participate in this 5K run/walk which starts in front of Knox Middle School, travels along a portion of the Salisbury Greenway, in and around Eagle Heights neighborhood and then back to finish on the Knox track. Justin Sink took 1st place honors with a time of 16:37 and Alayna Levie was 1st place female with a time of 20:25. The weather was perfect for this 4th annual run/walk.
- Robert Miller (32) of Salisbury took first place in the Run/Walk for the Greenway held on July 16, 2005 with a time of 16:11. Mary Bertram (18) also of Salisbury was the overall female winner with a time of 19:37. The weather was clear and warm for the 161 runners/walkers that turned out for this 8th annual event. Most notable was the appearance of the morning crew from WSTP 1490 radio, Mark Brown and Howard Platt. Both were responding to a challenge made to them by SRR to come out and participate in their first 5K. Both were great sports as they took part in the event for charity, and SRR donated $100 to Mark’s favorite charity, Rowan Helping Ministries.
- SRR, in conjunction with Salisbury Parks and Recreation and the YMCA of Rowan County, held an eight week Beginning Runners Program in September-October 2005 at the Salisbury City Park. 14 new runners met Tuesday evenings for 30 minutes of classroom instruction followed by 30 minutes of jogging in the area around the City Park.

Classroom instruction included topics on running shoes, running form, nutrition, injury prevention, strengthening/stretching, safety, etc.
