Run to Feed the Hungry

Race Information

Run to Feed the Hungry has become an annual holiday tradition for countless area families. Beginning in 1994 with only 800 runners, the event now ranks as Sacramento Valley's largest annual run & fun run/walk. In 2008, over 28,000 participants attended and we met our goal of raising $750,000 for Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. As we approach our 16th year we look forward to another record crowd and donations topping $800,000.

We have new courses for both the 5k and 10k this year. While the courses continue to wind through the beautiful tree-lined streets of East Sacramento, some of the streets have changed. Important note: Both 5k and 10k events share the same finish line just east of the corner of Elvas Avenue and H Street.
