Lafayette Res Run for Education

The Lafayette Res Run for Education is an annual family-friendly running event held in downtown Lafayette, California, traditionally on the third Sunday in October. The 2025 event features multiple distances including a 5K (flat and fast), a challenging 10K loop around the Lafayette Reservoir, a 2-mile fun run/walk, and a virtual Reservoir Challenge that participants can complete anytime during the week prior. The race attracts runners, walkers, families, and even pets, fostering a festive community atmosphere.

Proceeds benefit local schools, with significant funds raised annually. The event also includes a Healthy Lifestyles Fair with activities and music, and offers race packets with commemorative long-sleeve shirts. Parking is available on public streets and lots, with BART lots free on weekends. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
