2nd Annual Run to Foster Hope

Join FosterHope Sacramento's 2nd Annual  on May 21, 2023 to help recognize and celebrate Foster Care Awareness Month and to support our community based programs that help stabilize and support children and youth in crisis, while providing hope for a better future.

This year, we're excited to offer both a 5K and a 10K option for our self-timed event! This course is mostly flat and will utilize the trails at Gibson Ranch Regional Park located in Elverta. The course starts near Gibson Lake and goes around the park on the dedicated trail path - making it an ideal route for runners and walkers of all skill levels. Volunteers and cones will help guide runners along the path. For the 10K runners, you will make a second trip around the trail route. Enjoy a beautiful day at the park while helping youth in your community! 

Be advised: This is a multi-use dirt trail that is uneven.
