Father Bullock Run Walk Shuffle

Lace up for the Father Bullock Run Walk Shuffle, a cherished community event set to take place on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in scenic Sharon, Massachusetts. This inspiring race offers a 5K road race, a 2-mile walk, and a free 1K kids' race, ensuring there's an option for participants of all ages and abilities. Starting and finishing at the Cottage Street School, this event is more than just a race; it's a "Sharon Tradition" honoring the legacy of Father Robert Bullock, a remarkable Catholic Priest and volunteer known for his significant contributions to Facing History and Ourselves.

Runners tackling the 5K will experience a dynamic, rolling course. The first mile is notably fast with a downhill stretch on Billing Street, offering a quick start. The challenge then builds in the second mile, featuring a half-mile uphill climb on East Street, followed by a flatter section from mile two to 2.8, before concluding with an uphill push to the finish line. Typical race day conditions in mid-June feature pleasant highs around 77°F and lows around 57°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating a comfortable environment for your effort.

Beyond the engaging course, the Father Bullock Run Walk Shuffle stands out for its strong charitable focus, with proceeds benefiting the Alan 'Coach' Conway Scholarship, Facing History and Ourselves, and The Sharon Pluralism Network. Participants can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere, with awards for the top three male and female finishers across various age divisions, as well as special recognition for the first Sharon resident to cross the finish line. A $50 bonus prize awaits those who set new course records, and the first 150 registered runners and walkers will receive a commemorative race t-shirt. Join this impactful event for a day of fitness, community spirit, and a meaningful tribute.
