About the Running for Rotary
The course runs on The Thread, a paved trail that starts at Granger Recreational Park and heads out before turning back the same way. It is a road-terrain race, so the surface is smooth underfoot throughout. The race is put on by the local Rotary Club, with proceeds going toward youth literacy programs and other community causes.

The Running for Rotary has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
