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.

Be A Fan of Special Olympics – there are three fun ways!

Be a Fan of Fitness - Fun Run & Walk

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!

Be a Fan of Good Taste – Tasting Tour of Old Sac

Purchase a Tasting Passport to benefit Special Olympics, and “taste” your way through local restaurants, cafes, coffee houses, ice cream parlors and candy shops.
