Now in its 37th year, the Mission 10 Race is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Hollister and raises funds for community service programs and college scholarships. Runners and walkers of all ages from near and far will come together at the Mission Plaza lawn to train for upcoming races, beat personal records, or just for fun. The event brings a lot of families and friends together for an energetic and exciting time.  Participants are encouraged to dress up in groups and sign-up for the Theme Team Competition at the race’s Information Booth. The top theme teams will be awarded trophies. Please keep costumes family friendly.

Youth programs and scholarships have been a strong focus for the club for many decades, in addition to other local programs (Stuff the Bus, 12 Days of Giving, etc.) and international projects (construction of clean water wells in Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana; sanitation in Nigeria and Ghana; maternal health in Nigeria; education in Mexico, Philippines, and South America; literacy; oxygen generator and supplies in Ethiopia; micro-loans for women entrepreneurs in Guatemala, polio eradication globally and much more).
 
The Rotary Club of Hollister was founded in 1925 and lives by the motto “Service Above Self.” For more information about the club contact: info@hollisterrotary.org
