The Homeboy 5K Run/Walk takes place on September 19, 2026, at Homeboy Industries in Downtown Los Angeles. The event brings together runners, walkers, volunteers, and families for a morning that finishes with a street celebration featuring artists, partners, and vendors from across the city. The event supports Homeboy Industries' work to provide training and support to formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated people so they can redirect their lives and contribute to the community.

- 5K
- Kids Run : ages 2 to 12
- 5K Virtual Run
- Puppy Fades Doggy Dash : half mile canine race; dog participants receive a limited edition bandana; doggy registration does not include 5K admission
