From the Organizer
3,000 youth athletes from the Sacramento area take part in a 5K race celebrating the completion of six weeks of participation in our after-school Youth Fitness Program. You can support our local youth by joining us! Register to run, walk, or jog with the kids in our community 5K, volunteer your time, come out to cheer, or make a donation to help keep our Youth Fitness Program free for these youth athletes. It’s also the perfect shake-out before the big Marathon on Sunday.
