Mother of All Races Canal Fulton, OH   May 9, 2026

Rotary Club of Canal Fulton’s annual Mother of All Races 10K Run & 5K Run/Walk will start and end at Northwest High School. Races are routed through the picturesque, historic and natural beauty of downtown Canal Fulton, OH and along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath.

The Rotary Club of Canal Fulton lives 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, the Rotary Club of Canal Fulton will again host its major fundraising event the Mother of All Races, a 5K and 10K race to be held the Saturday before Mother’s Day.

Over 90 percent of the Rotary’s funding is distributed each year to those individuals in need, throughout the community. The primary source of revenue for these and other programs stems from the Mother of All Races 5K and 10K race.
