Run for Education : October 11, 2026
The San Ramon Valley Education Foundation presents the 2026 Run for Education on Sunday, October 11, 2026. The event marks its 43rd year as a community tradition in the San Ramon Valley and supports STEAM grants, district-level programs, professional learning, and individual teacher grants across 35 San Ramon Valley Unified School District public schools serving Alamo, Danville, and San Ramon. For 2026 the race venue changes: Iron Horse Middle School in San Ramon will host the 5K, Mini Run, Friendship Run, and 1.5 mile event. The 10K will start at Charlotte Wood Middle School in Danville and finish at Iron Horse Middle School. The 5K and 10K are timed and printable certificates will be available.
