Event Description
Reboot our 4th of July tradition with the Hercules Dynamite 5K Run/Walk along the San Francisco Bay Trail!
Sadly, our normal Hercules Parade/Run/Festival last year was derailed by COVID. It is also rather close to July 4th to attempt our usual Herculean Celebration. But, that doesn't mean we can't have the 5K run! The race will start July 4th at 9am. We will run/jog/walk the newly opened Northern portion of the San Francisco Bay Trail from The Exchange to the top of the trail on Pacific Ave and back.
The event will be a chip timed 5K run/walk limited to 250 entrants. The price above is adult general registration, but, on checkout, teens 11-18 are $20, and kids 10 and under are FREE!
Register by June 24th and your t-shirt size is set. Register after that date and sized race t-shirts will be passed out during Race Packet pickup on a first-come basis.
Race Packet (bib/shirt) pick-up: Saturday 7/3 outside Le Fleur D Floral 1375 Sycamore Ave Suite 150-A -- 4:00pm - 7:00pm. Sunday at event @ 6:30am-8:00am
This years' Hercules Dynamite 5K Run/Walk is presented by the Hercules/Rodeo/Crockett Rotary Club.

The Beyond the Blueprint guidelines indicate 'no restrictions' for capacity limitations and 'no restrictions' around physical distancing for attendees, customers and guests.
