Tulare Santa Fe Trail-A-Thon 5k

RUN. WALK. HAVE FUN. SUPPORT LOCAL STUDENTS!
Get ready, Tulare! The 24th Annual Tulare Santa Fe Trail-A-Thon 5K Run/Walk is back on Saturday, November 7, 2026!

Join the Tulare Sunrise Rotary Club for a fun morning of fitness, friendly competition, and community spirit on the Santa Fe Trail. Whether you're racing for a new personal best, walking with family and friends, or simply coming out to support a great local cause, everyone is welcome!

EVERY STEP SUPPORTS LOCAL STUDENTS
This event benefits the Tulare Sunrise Rotary Club High School Scholarship Program, helping local students continue their education and pursue their future goals.

In 2026, the program awarded scholarships to two Tulare high school seniors, including a $5,000 four-year college scholarship and a $1,500 trade school scholarship.

When you participate in the Trail-A-Thon, you're doing more than completing a 5K — you're helping create opportunities for local students.
