About this race
🏃♂️ The 10th Annual Foster5K + Kids Dash
Run for Hope. Stand for Change.
The 10th Annual Foster5K celebrates a decade of community impact. Amidst a critical funding crisis, your participation in our 5K ensures that we can continue providing advocates for foster youth who have experienced trauma. On Sunday, May 17, 2026, we gather at Martial Cottle Park to turn steps into hope. Race proceeds support Child Advocates of Silicon Valley (CASV) and its Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, dedicated to providing everlasting impact on our community's most vulnerable youth.
