Thank You for Making the
40th Run for Education a HUGE Success!

Thank you so much! The 40th Annual Run for Education was made possible by YOU! You registered, you showed up, you walked or ran, and you had fun along with our 500 volunteers, sponsors, and dedicated Run for Education Committee members.
Had a blast and can’t wait to do it again? Registration is now open for our 41st Annual Run for Education with special pricing for a limited time. From now until Monday, October 30, we’ve rolled back prices to just $25 for Friendship, Mini and 5K, and $35 for the 10K. That’s a savings of 55% on the 5K and 50% on the 10K!!! With our special pricing and group discount of 5% off four or more registrations, a family of four can register for under $100!
Too far ahead to plan? Not sure if you will be in town? No worries - Register anyway! Every registration helps support our schools. The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation works collaboratively with the San Ramon Valley Unified School District to identify the highest priority needs within our schools. In recent years SRVEF has awarded grants for teachers, supported STEAM programs, provided hundreds of books for classroom libraries, acquired supplies for dozens of teachers, purchased musical instruments, and funded professional development for our district's educators with the proceeds from The Run.
Register Here by October 30 for the Lowest Pricing of the Year!
