🏃‍♀️ THIS IS MORE THAN A RACE. THIS IS A MOVEMENT. 🏃‍♂️

Join us for the 10th Annual Foster5K Race + Kids Dash — Silicon Valley’s most heartfelt community run, celebrating a DECADE of showing up for foster youth in Santa Clara County

Right now, over 1,000 children in our community are in the foster care system — every one of them having experienced abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Many don’t have a dedicated adult advocate speaking up for them in court, at school, at the doctor. The Foster5K funds exactly that — CASA volunteers through Child Advocates of Silicon Valley who commit 18 months of their life to one child. One person changes everything. Foster youth with a CASA are 27% MORE likely to graduate high school. That’s what your registration fee does.

⏰ 9:00 AM — 5K Chip-Timed Race starts (walkers, joggers, serious runners — ALL welcome!)
