Lafayette Res Run for Education

🏃‍♂️ About the Lafayette Res Run for Education

The Lafayette Chamber and the City of Lafayette are co-sponsors of the Lafayette Res Run for Education which is traditionally held the third Sunday in October.

• Date: The 2025 Lafayette Res Run for Education will be held Sunday, October 19.
• Schedule: 5k: 8am, 10k: 8:15am, 2 mile: 8:45am in downtown Lafayette, CA.
• Virtual Option: Back by popular demand, you can register for the Reservoir Challenge – the virtual race which “runs” around the 2.7-mile paved trail of the Lafayette Reservoir October 11-18.
• Note: The Reservoir Challenge is not an option on Sunday, October 19 as the Reservoir will be closed for the 10K runners.

The Reservoir Challenge is a great opportunity to safely walk or run the Reservoir on your own, perhaps beating your time from last year.

🎉 Join the Fun!

• Community: The Run is the city’s most popular “family affair”, involving kids, parents, grandparents, and hundreds of serious runners from throughout the Bay Area.
• Event Types: Join us in 2025 for the 10k, 5k, the 2 mile run/walk for fun or the Reservoir Challenge!
• Participants: Sprinters, walkers, the “stroller brigade” and many of Lafayette’s top four legged residents are welcome to join in the fun.
• Student Incentive: The first 100 students to register from each school will receive a voucher for a free 1/4 pound of bulk candy from Zoonie's during packet pickup!
