Lace up for the 18th annual Run With Rotary on Sunday, June 14, 2026, in the picturesque Skillman Park, Skillman, NJ. This cherished community event offers both a USATF-certified 5K Road Race and a delightful 1-Mile Ramble/Fun Walk, making it perfect for runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. The course, entirely within the beautiful Skillman Park, features maintained paved roads and 12-foot wide asphalt paths. Runners can expect a mostly flat experience, with a single gentle hill in the first mile, followed by gradual declines, and a pleasant downhill stretch to a flat finish for the 5K. The scenic park, originally designed by renowned Landscape Architect Charles W. Leavitt, provides a refreshing backdrop to your race.

The Run With Rotary is more than just a race; it's a flagship fundraising event for the Rotary Club of Montgomery Rocky Hill, dedicated to supporting vital local, national, and international charitable initiatives. Your participation contributes to causes such as the Montgomery Township Food Pantry, polio eradication efforts, and disaster relief programs. This year, the event has a special significance, as it moves from its traditional April date to coincide with Montgomery Township's "America in Harmony" celebrations, honoring America's 250th anniversary. Prepare for typical race day conditions with highs around 80°F and lows around 59°F, accompanied by a 20% chance of precipitation.

Whether you're aiming for a personal best or enjoying a family-friendly outing, the Run With Rotary fosters a vibrant and supportive atmosphere. Water stations are conveniently located at the start/finish line and around the two-mile mark for 5K participants. Beyond individual achievements, the event encourages team participation with special recognition for categories like "Most Spirited" and "Best Dressed" teams, adding an extra layer of fun and camaraderie to this impactful community tradition. Registration opens at 7:00 AM, with the 1-Mile Ramble starting at 8:25 AM and the 5K Race at 9:00 AM.
