MaraFUNrun 5K
The MaraFUNrun is a community running event hosted by the non profit Runnin' for Rhett at William Land Park in Sacramento near Freeport and Sutterville. The event brings together about 3,000 youth athletes from the Sacramento area to celebrate completion of six weeks in the after school Youth Fitness Program. Community participants may run, walk, or jog alongside the youth athletes.
Distances include:
- 5K community race for youth and community participants
- 1/4 mile untimed dash for children eight and under
Registration for the 2026 MaraFUNrun opens July 31. Packets are distributed on race morning at Land Park near the start line; a packet includes a bib number and a shirt. Youth Fitness students who selected a school affiliation receive their packet from their coach; others pick up packets on race morning. A cotton shirt is included in registration and a tech shirt is available as an upgrade.
Entry fees listed are $35 plus a $1.40 convenience fee for the 5K and $15 plus a $0.60 convenience fee for the untimed quarter mile. Race day registration is available. The event is chip timed using a disposable timing chip on the back of the bib.
Course notes mention a start and finish near Sutterville and Freeport, tree lined streets for miles one and two, and an aid station with water and restrooms about halfway. Portable restrooms are available at the halfway point and at the start and finish. Parking is recommended at Sacramento City College for a $2 fee.
