Hinsdale's Family Run

Join us for the 32nd annual Rotary Run Charity Classic!
The Rotary Run Charity Classic, Hinsdale's beloved family run, has been Running Strong for over 30 years! While much has changed over the decades, the heart of the event remains the same: affordable prices, a family-friendly atmosphere, and something for every runner, walker, and furry friend. The Rotary Run features 10K, 5K, and 3K run options, along with 5K and 3K walk and Mutt Strutt events. All proceeds support both local and international charitable efforts. Come celebrate tradition, community, and giving back—one step at a time!
