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 7, 2016 for the Mother of All Races. It's a fantastic 10K, 5K featuring a flat and fast course in Canal Fulton.

Walking
5K Competitive Walk
1st time Feature to the 10th Annual Mother of All Races - a 5K Speed Walk! This event will be limited to those that strictly WALK the course. It will be an on-your-honor system but keep in mind it is self-judged by other participants to ensure fair competition (sorry, NO running). For those new to this growing sport of Race Walking: In national competition, USATF established an official definition of race walking to formally differentiate it from running. This definition evolved across several decades as officials attempted to better define the sport. Although many rules regulate competitive walking, only this definition (in two parts) serves to characterize legal race walking. USATF Definition •Race walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. •The advancing leg must be straightened (i.e., not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until in the vertical upright position.
