1849 Scene, Old Sacramento
(in front of the California State Railroad Museum)
If you are a fan of sports that create unity and athletes who inspire, if you respect determination and admire being brave in the attempt, if you believe in dignity, acceptance and the human race, then you are already a fan of Special Olympics. Make it official by joining us at Be A Fan, Sacramento! on Saturday, September 27th.
Be A Fan, Sacramento! is a fun-filled, family friendly day featuring the Be A Fan Fun Run/Walk, a Tasting Tour of Old Sacramento and the Great Sacramento Duck Race. For more information on how you can be a fan of fitness, good taste and fun, visit www.BeAFanSacramento.com.

The day kicks off with a 5K/10K community run along the Sacramento River. Run or walk beside our Special Olympic athletes as they vie for advancement to the Northern California Long Distance Running and Walking Championship this fall. Get in a good morning workout, a “fan” T-shirt and feel good knowing your entry fee supports your local Special Olympic athletes.
Sign up for the Fun Run and Walk!
Purchase a Tasting Passport to benefit Special Olympics, and “taste” your way through local restaurants, cafes, coffee houses, ice cream parlors and candy shops.
Tasting tour information.
The Great Sacramento Duck Race is back for a fourth year! Up to 20,000 rubber ducks will be ceremoniously dumped off the I Street Bridge and race to the Tower Bridge in hope of winning up to $10,000 in cash and prizes.
