Organization:
This year the Rotary Club of Canal Fulton is celebrating its 99th year of living out the motto of "Service Above Self".  It is during seasons of difficulty and uncertainty that civic clubs like Rotary are essential to come alongside those in need of a helping hand. To help support those in need as well as other community programs, we will again host our major fundraising event the Mother of All Races, a 5K and 10K race to be held on May 10, 2024, the Saturday before Mother's Day.

Over 90 percent of our Rotary's funding is distributed each year to those individuals in need, throughout our community.

Our primary source of revenue for these and other programs stems from the Mother of All Races 5k and 10k race.  Donations can also be given donation link above, donations can also be made through the registration process.

Join fellow runners on May 9, 2026 for the Mother of All Races. It's a fantastic 5K, 10K featuring a flat and fast course in Canal Fulton.
