Spartan Trail – Monterey

Join us for the Third Annual Rotary Rainbow Run - 5k or 1k (Fun Run) on June 6th, 2026. The Rotary Rainbow Run is sponsored by the San Juan Bautista Rotary Club and all proceeds will benefit the San Benito County Esperanza Center as well as local scholarship and grants. San Juan Bautista is a small California Mission town just off Hwy 101 approximately 50 miles south of San Jose. The Rainbow Run races will start and finish on the old El Camino Real (The Alameda) with the course taking participants through the historic downtown, friendly neighborhoods, rural countryside, and the California State Park and Mission Plaza.

Show your community pride by dressing up in a fun and colorful costume! The 5K will be timed with awards, as well as Best Costume prizes will be awarded to the best dressed runner and four legged participant.

Team themes are encouraged. Please keep costumes family friendly. Come join the fun!
