36TH FATHERS DAY 5K RUN (SS Summer Series #4) & (Triple Crown Series #3)

Lace up your running shoes for the 36th Annual Fathers Day 5K Run, a cherished tradition in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, on Sunday, June 21, 2026. Hosted by the renowned Seashore Striders, this event is not only a fantastic way to celebrate Father's Day but also a key component of the popular Seashore Strider Summer Racing Series (#4) and the Seashore Strider Triple Crown Series (#3). Participants aiming for the coveted "Triple Crown" award will find this 5K an essential step in their quest. This historic race, known as one of the oldest 5K events in "the national Summer Capital," offers both a 3.11-mile run and a 3.1-mile walk, making it perfect for all paces and abilities.

The course itself is a runner's delight: a fast and flat loop winding through the charming streets on the south side of Rehoboth Beach and into the Country Club development. Runners can expect to sprint through the vibrant streets alongside fellow enthusiasts, all while contributing to a great cause, as the event proudly supports the Seashore Strider Youth Cross Country Team. The start and finish lines are conveniently located at Rehoboth Avenue and The Boards (Boardwalk), with packet pickup available the day before at the New Balance Store.

Expect a lively race atmosphere, complete with post-race jubilations and awards across multiple age categories. While June in Rehoboth Beach typically brings highs around 86°F and lows around 66°F with a 14% chance of precipitation, past events have seen varying conditions, from unseasonably cool to notably warm and humid, so prepare accordingly for a summer seaside run. Join hundreds of families and runners for this memorable Father's Day celebration, where every stride supports the future of youth running.
