Run for Education

Our T-shirt design contest is now closed! Winner annoucment coming soon!

Now in its 14th year, the Pleasanton Run for Education is our largest community event of the year, and serves to celebrate our community, encourage fitness, and fundraise for our schools. The event will take place at the Alameda County Fairgrounds and will offer 5K (3.1 mile), 10K (6.2 mile), and 2 Mile distances. All three courses are designed for participants of all ages and athletic abilities, and we welcome runners, walkers, and baby jogger strollers in all three events. For kids ages 3 to 10 years who are not quite ready for the longer distance, we also host a 1/4 mile fun run.

Sign ups for our 2026 event open in Jan.
