Father's Day Run for Rotary 2026

The Father’s Day Run for Rotary is a 5K run/walk in Clayton, California, taking place on Father’s Day and organized by the Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary Club. The race begins and ends at Clayton Community Park, features professional timing, and offers age-group awards. It is designed as a family fundraiser, not an elite-only competition, with a free 400-meter kids race accompanying the main event. The funds generated benefit local schools, particularly the parent-faculty groups at Mt. Diablo Elementary and Diablo View Middle School. Rotary sponsors intend to raise over $15,000, with volunteers assisting in the organization. The broader Father’s Day Rotary running tradition originates in Point Pleasant Boro, where a Rotary 5K and one-mile fun run evolved from a club fundraiser into a community race supporting local charities and scholarships.
