Get ready to lace up your sneakers and spark your creativity—a href=”https://raceforthearts.com/”Race for the Arts 2025 is coming to Sacramento’s William Land Park on Saturday, August 23, 2025. Celebrating its 26th year, this beloved event combines a scenic 5K run/walk, youth and kids’ fun runs, and a Free Arts Festival that transforms the park into a buzzing showcase of local talents—from soulful music and poetry to visual arts and culinary creations.
There’s something for everyone: folks seeking a leisurely stroll or a power walk, families cheering on young runners in the quarter- and half-mile kids’ races, and art lovers eager to explore booths, performances, and live demonstrations. Participants receive a commemorative T-shirt, a finisher’s medal, and tasty food samplings—whether you run in the 5K or cheer from the sidelines, the festival vibe is fully inclusive and free to the public .
What makes this even more meaningful? 100% of pledges designated to California nonprofit arts and school programs go directly to those causes—without any deductions—fueling creativity across performing, literary, visual, culinary, and cultural disciplines.
So every step you take is a step toward strengthening Sacramento’s rich artistic community. Gather your friends, form a team for the discounted group rate, and help turn the park into your stage for creativity and compassion.
