    Race Overview:

    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 ensures 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.

    Ways to Move:
    5K Run/Walk: A chip-timed race for all ages and abilities at Martial Cottle Park.
    Kids Dash: Fun runs for ages 12 and under, featuring a 700m sprint for "Big Kids" (ages 6–10) and a 250m dash for our "Little Kids" (ages 5 and under).
     

    Whether you sprint, jog, or skip, you are running for their future. Join us and stand for change!

    All proceeds benefit Child Advocates of Silicon Valley, an independent nonprofit serving our community's most vulnerable youth – foster children aged birth to 21 years old who have experienced abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. Together we can help LIFT UP our foster children. Learn more about how to help a child in foster care at childadvocatessv.org.
