Biegi 5K w pobliżu Tulare

Runners cross the dry bed of Kaweah Lake at this trail race in Three Rivers, California. The race takes place in the fall and offers two straightforward distance options: a 5K (3.1 miles) and a 10K (6.2 miles). It begins and ends on Sierra Drive. With limited parking, it has the feel of a small local event rather than a large city race. The course’s main appeal is its unique surface and location: instead of running around the lake, participants run across the exposed lake bottom. The first race sold out two weeks before the event, and participation is capped. Finishers receive a Lake Bottom t-shirt, a custom wood medal, complimentary race photos, and chip timing. The finish area provides food, music, and camaraderie. Proceeds benefit St. Anthony Retreat and Conference Center.

The SHAY 5K Run/Walk is a community 5K in Delano, California, held at La Vina Middle School on Browning Road. It takes place on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, a shift from its earlier Thanksgiving morning schedule. Participants may run or walk the 5K distance, with age-group awards for timed runners. Children 10 and under receive a reduced registration fee, and individuals can register or form teams. The event commemorates Shaylyn Anela Pinoliar and is organized by Spreading Help Around You, a nonprofit established in her memory. This organization assists families coping with the loss of a loved one, educates them on preparedness for such events, serves the local community, advocates for pedestrian safety, and manages the SHAY Scholarship Program. Race-day features include event shirts, finisher medals for the first 150 participants, race bibs, awards, and raffle announcements.

Corporal Javier Bejar Memorial Run to impreza w Reedley, California, za którą stoi Reedley Police Department. Upamiętnia sierżanta Javiera Bejara, funkcjonariusza policji z Reedley i weterana Marine Corps, który zginął na służbie. W ramach imprezy masz do wyboru bieg na 10K, marsz na 10K, bieg/marsz na 5K, marsz na 5K oraz opcję wirtualną bieg/marsz. Start imprez stacjonarnych jest na G Street i 10th Street w Reedley. Bieg jest ogólnie dla biegaczy i chodziarzy, z osobnymi startami dla każdej grupy rano w dniu biegu. Dzień biegu zaczyna się od późnego odbioru pakietów i ceremonii, zanim ruszą pierwsi biegacze na 10K. Dostajesz pamiątkową koszulkę i medal finishera, inspirowane życiem i poświęceniem sierżanta Bejara. Medale są gwarantowane dla pierwszych 350 biegaczy, ale koszulek już nie ma pewności, jeśli zapiszesz się za późno. Odbiór pakietów jest w Reedley Police Department Annex Building na G Street, co fajnie podkreśla związek imprezy z departamentem i społecznością, którą upamiętnia.
