The Rye Gift & Family Fun Day is a traditional athletic event held annually on the second Saturday of January. Held under the regulations of the Victorian Athletics League, the Rye Gift has been presented by the Rye Sports & Social Club since 1975 and continues to be the premier running event on the Mornington Peninsula. The Rye Gift is a wonderful family fun day with attractions, children's rides and market goods. RJ Rowley Recreation Reserve
