Get ready to experience the beloved Scott Coffee Moorestown Rotary 8K on Saturday, June 6, 2026, in the charming, historic town of Moorestown, NJ. This USATF-certified 8K course is celebrated for its flat and fast profile, guiding runners through 300-year-old tree-lined streets that offer beautiful scenery and a vibrant community spirit. Originating in 1985 as a 5-mile run and later converting to an 8K to join the USATF race series, this event is now in its 42nd year and has raised over $1 million for Moorestown Rotary Charities and the Scott Coffee Education Endowment for scholarships, honoring one of its founders, Scott Coffee.
Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 79°F and lows around 60°F, accompanied by a 19% chance of precipitation. The race starts and finishes at the Community House on Main Street, where participants will find a welcoming atmosphere. Aid stations are well-equipped with two water stops along the course, offering water, fruit, and bagels to keep you fueled.
Beyond the race itself, the Scott Coffee Moorestown Rotary 8K is renowned for its exceptional hospitality, providing free food and drinks to all participants post-race. This event often coincides with Moorestown Days, creating a festive atmosphere for both runners and spectators. Top age group winners are rewarded with fantastic prizes, including Goodr Sunglasses, adding a unique touch to the competitive spirit. Runners consistently return year after year, praising the well-organized nature of the event and the enjoyable experience it offers for all ages, with some families even seeing three generations cross the finish line.
