Nurses Rock

Lace up your shoes for the Nurses Rock run, an inspiring event dedicated to celebrating and supporting the invaluable nursing community. Taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026, in scenic San Dimas, California, this race offers both a 6.2-mile (10K) and a 3.1-mile (5K) distance, perfect for runners and walkers of all levels. The course is a timed trail experience set within the beautiful Frank G. Bonelli Park, featuring some rolling hills to add a gentle challenge to your run. Typical race day conditions in early May often bring pleasant weather, with highs around 79°F and lows around 54°F, alongside a minimal 2% chance of precipitation.

More than just a race, Nurses Rock is an annual event with a profound purpose, organized by The Bonnie Fang Foundation to raise crucial scholarship money for aspiring nursing students across California and Nevada. Held to coincide with National Nurses Day and the start of National Nurses Week, it's a powerful way to honor nurses and bring awareness to the ongoing nursing shortage. Participants in previous years have highlighted the vibrant atmosphere and strong sense of camaraderie, making it an uplifting day filled with community spirit. All registered participants receive an official race shirt and a finisher medal to commemorate their achievement and contribution to a vital cause.

The event kicks off at Frank G. Bonelli Park, located at 120 Via Verde, San Dimas, CA 91773, with convenient parking available (please note there is a separate park entrance fee). Beyond the individual races, the "Bonnie Challenge" allows dedicated participants to complete both a virtual 5K and 10K, further amplifying their support. Gather your friends, family, or colleagues, as special awards are given to the top three largest groups, adding an element of friendly competition to this impactful day. Join the Nurses Rock community and run to make a tangible difference in the future of the nursing profession.
