If you are not participating in the race, or if you finish early, please visit the booths at our Health & Wellness Resource Fair.

Visit the Health & Wellness Fair for information on what's happening in the community, free health screenings, wellness education, and direct connections to valuable healthcare and support services.

Our Background

The Pomona 5K was born in 2016, with the vision of creating a community-driven running event in the heart of Downtown Pomona. The Pomona 5K is a partnership between Pomona Valley Runners, a local running group, and various community organizations including God’s Pantry, a community-based nonprofit organization. This event has been coordinated by a core group of dedicated community leaders from Pomona who volunteer their time to put on this event from the ground up.
