Father's Day Run for Rotary

Celebrate Father's Day with an invigorating start at the Father's Day Run for Rotary, returning to Concord, CA, on Sunday, June 21, 2026. This cherished community event offers a fantastic opportunity for runners of all ages and abilities to hit the pavement for a great cause. Choose your challenge with either a lively 5K looping course or, for the younger participants (ages 7 and under), a free and fun 400m dash, making it a perfect family outing. The course, which begins and ends near the playground at Newhall Park, promises a scenic and enjoyable run through the park's welcoming environment.

Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with pleasant morning temperatures, as historical weather for this time of year usually sees highs around 88F and lows around 58F, with a 0% chance of precipitation. Beyond the personal achievement, your participation directly supports the Clayton Valley/Concord Sunrise Rotary Club and local schools, contributing to valuable community projects. Pre-registered runners are guaranteed a commemorative T-shirt, and age group awards will be presented to the top three finishers in each category. Packet pickup the day before the race even includes a special discount at Sports Basement in Walnut Creek, adding extra value to your registration.

This run, which will mark its fourth annual iteration in 2026, is quickly becoming a beloved Father's Day tradition, fostering a festive and supportive atmosphere for everyone involved. Gather your family, lace up your shoes, and join the Concord community at Newhall Park for a memorable Father's Day dedicated to fitness, family fun, and supporting essential local initiatives.
