Welcome to the 7th Annual Clarksburg Pepperoni Roll 5K Race, benefitting The Clarksburg Children's House Montessori School! Did you know that Clarksburg, WV has the most pepperoni roll bakeries in the entire state? The Clarksburg Children's House (TCCH) wanted to showcase this unique feature of our city and support our local bakeries, while raising money for our beautiful school located in the historic Glen Elk neighborhood of Clarksburg. All the proceeds from this event will support our fundraising efforts at The Clarksburg Children’s House.
