Father's Day Road Race

Lace up for a cherished community tradition at the 46th Annual Father's Day Road Race, set to take place on Sunday, June 21, 2026, in Springfield, MA. This beloved event, hosted by the Springfield JCC, offers a welcoming atmosphere for participants of all ages and abilities, making it the perfect way to celebrate Father's Day with family and friends. Choose your challenge from a competitive 10K, a scenic 5K, or a fun-filled 1-Mile Walk, known as the EveryOneMile.

The courses for both the 10K and 5K are largely flat and fast, winding through the pleasant neighborhoods surrounding the Springfield JCC, including portions of Converse and Dickinson Street and into Longmeadow. The 10K is comprised of two loops of the 5K course, offering runners a chance to push their limits on a familiar route. Starting and finishing at the Springfield JCC at 1160 Dickinson Street, with convenient parking accessible via 594 Converse Street in Longmeadow, the event promises a smooth race day experience. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 81°F and lows around 57°F, with a modest 17% chance of precipitation, creating generally favorable running weather.

More than just a race, this event is a cornerstone of community spirit, providing professional timing and post-race refreshments to keep your energy high. As a long-standing tradition spanning over four decades, the Father's Day Road Race is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and for supporting vital programs at the Springfield JCC. Join fellow runners, walkers, and families for a memorable and engaging Father's Day celebration.
