2026 Schoolyard Run + Walk

Lace up your sneakers for the 2026 Schoolyard Run + Walk, a heartwarming community event hosted by the Rich-Mar Rotary Satellite Club in Mars, PA, on Saturday, June 20, 2026. This family-friendly event welcomes participants of all ages and abilities to tackle either a 3.1-mile (5K) run or walk, or a more relaxed 1-mile walk. The course is designed to be fun and welcoming, offering a chance to enjoy the local Mars scenery as you contribute to meaningful causes close to home. Typical race day conditions in June see comfortable lows around 60F and highs reaching 81F, with a 21% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather.

More than just a race, the Schoolyard Run + Walk embodies a strong community spirit, with every step making a tangible impact. Proceeds from the event directly benefit Legacy Rotarian Member's Scholarships, fostering the next generation of student leaders, and the YASU Group (Young Adult Survivors United), which provides vital inclusive programs and support for young adult cancer survivors and their caregivers. Expect a vibrant atmosphere at the start and finish, located at 1775 Three Degree Rd, Mars, PA, complete with awards and recognition for top finishers, celebrating both athletic achievement and collective philanthropy. Join fellow runners and walkers for a day of fitness, fellowship, and a shared commitment to building stronger, more inclusive communities.
