Lace up your shoes or pump up your tires for the 35th Annual Roll Stroll & Run on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Souderton, PA! This beloved event, hosted by the Indian Creek Foundation, offers a diverse array of distances to suit every pace and passion, from challenging 62-mile, 40-mile, 20-mile, and 10-mile bike rides to a competitive 5K run, and enjoyable 5K and 1K walks. Departing from and returning to the Indian Creek Foundation's main campus at 420 Cowpath Road, the race supports a vital mission: empowering individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and autism and maintaining their residential homes. With over 300 participants typically joining, you'll be part of a vibrant community making a tangible difference.

Runners can anticipate a well-organized 5K course that features two laps to minimize road crossings, with police and staff ensuring safety throughout. While the course is largely scenic, be ready for a notable hill towards the finish. Cyclists will navigate scenic and challenging routes through the picturesque Indian Valley, characterized by rolling to hilly terrain. All routes are clearly marked, with optional PDF cue sheets and GPX files available for navigation. For longer distances, rest stops and essential support like SAG wagons and mechanics are provided for cyclists. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 82F and lows around 60F, with a relatively low 18% chance of precipitation, creating pleasant running and riding weather.

Beyond the race itself, the Roll Stroll & Run is renowned for its festive post-race family carnival, making it a truly unique experience. Participants and supporters can enjoy an all-you-care-to-eat lunch, groove to a DJ, unwind in the beer garden, and try their luck with fun raffles and prizes. For added convenience, a drive-through early check-in is offered on Thursday, June 18th, allowing you to pick up your bib, t-shirt, and swag bag ahead of time and avoid race-day lines. Join this historic event, celebrating its 35th year, and contribute to an incredible cause while enjoying a day packed with fitness, fun, and community spirit.
