The Fair Oaks Chicken Run is an annual community race in Fair Oaks, featuring a 5-mile Chicken Run, a non-competitive 2-mile Rooster Ramble run/walk, and a Chicken Chase for children 12 and under. This is the event's 45th edition, and it benefits the San Juan Education Foundation.
The 5-mile race begins on residential streets in Old Fair Oaks before incorporating paved roads and trails in Sailor Bar, including hills that present a genuine challenge. The 2-mile Rooster Ramble follows paved roads through Old Fair Oaks, making it suitable for walkers, families, and strollers. The kids' race offers a short, chicken-themed course for younger participants.
