Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the 3rd Annual Mother Lode Earth Day 5k, taking place on Saturday, April 19, 2025, in the beautiful setting of Sutter Creek, Amador. This exciting event invites participants to either run or walk, with a 5k race distance for those seeking a challenge, and a 2-mile walk available for those who prefer a more leisurely pace. All proceeds will benefit the Amador High School Cross Country program and the Mother Lode Land Trust, making this not just a race, but a chance to support local initiatives!

While online registration has closed to ensure enough race shirts are available, don't fret! There will be a race day registration table starting at 7:30 AM, and the first 40 participants will receive shirts on a first-come, first-served basis. Join us for a day filled with community spirit, post-race refreshments, and the thrill of competing for prizes awarded to the top three male and female finishers in the 5k run. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a casual walker, the Mother Lode Earth Day 5k promises a fun and uplifting experience for everyone. We can't wait to see you there!
