Come for the Run, Stay for the Fair!

Start your day with a little exercise for a good cause. The 12th annual RUN WITH ROTARY 5k Run and 1 mile Ramble events will start at 10:00am at our town's beautiful Skillman Park (registration sign-in begins at 8:30am). 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 major goals is to purchase an upgraded mobile soup kitchen and disaster unit for Samaritan Homeless Interim Program.

The morning Run With Rotary event will also include music, supervised runners' kid-care for ages 4-8, Penn Medicine Princeton Health activities, MHS Drum Corps, Dance Factory performance, Ahn's Taekwondo demonstrations, massage tables, Zumba class, 50/50 Raffle, kid's activities, and more.

After the race, stay for the 13th Annual  EARTH DAY FAIR, a family afternoon to celebrate our earth and learn more about the environment. The fair  includes free family activities such as environmental information booths, a science fair, Earth Day art show, kid's activities, food, and a recycling drop-off.
