Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the exhilarating "Run for Roots - Building Community Together" event on Saturday, April 26, 2025, in Fresno! This vibrant 5K race is more than just a run; it's a celebration of community spirit and a testament to Highway City Community Development's dedication to enhancing education, health, housing, and overall community well-being. Join your neighbors and friends as you race through the streets, and afterward, explore a variety of resource booths showcasing all the positive initiatives in our community.

This event not only promotes fitness and fun but also supports essential programs like the HCCD Family Crisis Navigation and Food Pantry, which provided over 13,000 pounds of food to more than 900 families last year. Bring your furry friends along, as this event is pet-friendly! Runners will be treated to delicious Huckleberry's Beignets and breakfast treats, and the historic Kearney Mansion will open early for a special tour. Don’t miss this opportunity to build connections and celebrate the heart of Fresno. A $5 parking fee applies, so come out, run for a cause, and enjoy a day filled with community and camaraderie!
