Rotary International

The Rotary Club of Fillmore’s 2016 Heritage Valley 5-10K Run/Fitness Walk and Health Fair will be held on Saturday, May 21st in front of FUSD offices.

As a new addition this year, our partner, Santa Clara Valley Wellness Foundation will be sponsoring an expanded Health Fair with 20-25 vendors expected. Free groceries to the first 100 families who participate in the health fair activities, Blood Pressure Screening, Get Fit!, Glucose Screening and more!

Much of the race course follows the bike/walking path along the beautiful Sespe Creek with views of San Cayetano Mountain. Out of town participants join local runners and walkers of all ages. Our event includes a 5K Run/Fitness Walk and a 10K run. This year our 1-mile Fun Run-Walk is open to all. Participants 9 years and under will receive ribbons and a coupon for a free Flo-Yo cone, sponsored by Flo-Yo Frozen Yogurt on Central Ave.

Get your team together for the Team Challenge. Teams must have a minimum of five members. Team members receive discounted entry fee, the opportunity to win money to support your favorite charity or organization and prizes for the best team t-shirt! Your team may not be the fastest but you can still win in the “Largest Team” category! Get all your friends and family members signed up under your team name!

Podium One Timing and Race Management will be back to help with registration and provide chip timing and instant online results.

During our awards ceremony we will raffle off some amazing gifts: local fruit baskets, Foursome green fees from Elkins Ranch Golf Course, Gift Certificate from The Scented Path, golf bag and loads of gift cards and gift baskets!
