Get ready to lace up your sneakers and celebrate a quarter-century of supporting the arts! The Race for the Arts 5K Run/Walk, Kids Fun Runs, and Free Arts Festival returns on Saturday, August 24, 2024. This year marks the 25th anniversary of this incredible event, and you won’t want to miss the festivities.
Celebrate 25 Years of Art and Fitness
The Race for the Arts has been raising funds and awareness for California’s nonprofit visual, performing, cultural, literary, and culinary arts organizations, and school programs for 25 years. Over 215 arts organizations and school programs have benefited from this event, receiving 100% of pledges designated to them. Whether you’re an avid runner, a casual walker, or just someone who loves the arts, this event has something for everyone.
A Day Full of Activities
The event kicks off with the 5K Run/Walk and Kids Fun Runs in shady William Land Park, near the Sacramento Zoo. Participants of all ages and athletic abilities are welcome, and for those who like to keep track of their performance, there’s the B-tag timing system to record your finish time.
But the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line! After the race, stick around for the Free Arts Festival. Enjoy live entertainment along the racecourse and on the Amphitheatre Stage, where there will be continuous performances and plenty of seating for you to relax and enjoy. Bring a picnic and make a day of it!
Exciting Booths and Performances
The festival features over 40 hands-on, interactive arts booths where you can try your hand at different artistic activities. Sample delicious foods from local vendors and food trucks, and don’t miss the booth where registered runners can pick up their exclusive Trumpette-designed socks.
To add to the festive atmosphere, some participants even run in costume, promoting their organization or school and spreading cheer along the way.
Special Giveaway
As a special treat for our 25th anniversary, registered runners and walkers can enter to win four Two Day One Park Per Day Tickets to the Disneyland Resort! The drawing will be held at 10:45 AM, and tickets will be available at the time of the drawing.
