THE RUN
Get those sneakers on and get ready for a fun day. In past years, the race has attracted 900 runners and walkers and is a sanctioned Grand Prix event by the USA Track and Field organization. Return for a great family tradition or start a new one of your own. Run as an individual or with the whole family.
Run With Rotary is the Montgomery/Rocky Hill Rotary Club’s main fundraising event. All proceeds benefit local and international charities. One of this year’s goals is to complete the purchase of a new mobile soup kitchen and disaster unit for Samaritan Homeless Interim Program.
The morning Run With Rotary event will include music, kid-care for ages 4-8, Penn Medicine Princeton Health activities, MHS Drum Corps, Dance Factory performance, massage tables, Zumba class, 50/50 Raffle, kid’s activities, drone demos, and more.
