Fitness, Fun & Friends!

Are you ready to lace up your sneakers and join us for a great cause? Join your family and friends on a scenic cruise through Granite Bay. We are proud to announce our 16th annual Eureka Schools Foundation Fund Run! The Fund Run promotes a healthy, active lifestyle while providing a fun, community-centered opportunity to raise funds to support students, teachers, and programs of the Eureka Union School District. 95 cents of every dollar raised goes directly to ESF.

You can register for a 5K, 1M, or Kids’ Run (100 yard dash). Popular with local families and fitness enthusiasts from across the region, the event attracts over 1,000 runners, walkers, and spectators. Stay after the race and hang out with your community, support the youngest runners as they sprint across the football field for the 100 yard dash, and attend the awards ceremony.

Can't wait to see you there!
