From the Organizer
Join Team Project Youth OC!
Since 2004, Project Youth OC has proudly partnered with the OC Marathon as an official Charity Partner. In 2026, our runners, walkers, donors, sponsors, and supporters helped us surpass an incredible milestone: more than $1 million raised for Orange County youth and families.
In 2027, we are building on that momentum with We Run On Community - a celebration of the people who come together year after year to make a lasting difference.
The OC Marathon offers something for everyone:
5K Walk/Run: Saturday, May 1, 2027, at the OC Fairgrounds
Marathon & Half Marathon: Sunday, May 2, 2027, beginning at Fashion Island and finishing at the OC Fairgrounds
Whether you run, walk, fundraise, donate, or cheer from the sidelines, you are part of the community that moves our mission forward.
Every dollar raised through Team Project Youth OC helps us meet young people at pivotal turning points and provide the guidance, education, and family-centered support they need to build a path toward success. Together, we serve more than 1,500 youth and family members each year throughout Orange County.
Because when our community comes together, young people move forward.
Join Team Project Youth OC and help us make every mile matter. We Run On Community - and we hope you’ll run with us.
