Fair Oaks Fun Run Day of the Dead

The post Day of the Dead 5K appeared first on Sacramento Top 10.

The menu celebrates American classics with bold flavors and high-quality ingredients. Their burgers—especially the famous “Dad’s Burger” topped with blue cheese, bacon, and a crispy onion nest—are legendary. But Dad’s Kitchen is much more than burgers. You’ll find imaginative salads, fresh fish specials, and inventive sandwiches like the tri-tip grilled cheese that are equally crave-worthy.

The bar offers an impressive lineup of local craft beers and California wines, making it a great spot for happy hour or a relaxed dinner with friends. The interior exudes warmth with rustic wood accents and a welcoming staff, while the outdoor patio is a favorite during Fair Oaks’ sunny afternoons.

Whether you’re popping in for weekend brunch, a weekday lunch, or dinner with the family, Dad’s Kitchen offers the perfect mix of comfort and culinary flair.

Mark your calendars and lace up your running shoes—Old Fair Oaks is gearing up for the 44th annual Fair Oaks Chicken Run! This beloved community event, happening on May 4, 2025, isn’t just a race; it’s a celebration of fitness, fun, and supporting a great cause: the San Juan Education Foundation. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a family-friendly outing, there’s something for everyone at this egg-citing event.

Pick Your Race

The Chicken Run offers three fantastic options to suit all ages and abilities:
• The Chicken Run (5 Miles): Ready to tackle a challenge? This 5-mile course is a hard-boiled adventure that winds through the picturesque residential streets of Old Fair Oaks and along the scenic Sailor Bar trail. With a mix of paved roads and trails—not to mention those infamous hills—this race will test your stamina. Keep your sunny side up and watch your step as you go!
• The Rooster Ramble (2 Miles): If you prefer a more laid-back vibe, the 2-mile Rooster Ramble is the perfect over-easy option. This stroller- and family-friendly course sticks to paved roads, making it ideal for walkers, casual runners, or anyone who wants to enjoy the beauty of Old Fair Oaks at a leisurely pace. You might even feel a little “runny” by the end!
• Chicken Chase Kids Race: For the little ones (12 and under), the Chicken Chase is the highlight of the day. Led by the legendary Fair Oaks Chicken, this wild and wacky kids’ race is a free-range blast that’ll have your peeps clucking with joy. It’s hands-down the best kids’ race around!

Perks for All Participants

No matter which race you choose, you’ll walk (or run) away with some fantastic goodies:
• A high-quality tri-blend event shirt (crew neck) to show off your Chicken Run pride.
• A commemorative finisher medal to celebrate your achievement.
• Free race photos to capture the fun.
• A refreshing root beer float to cool down.
• Post-race snacks to refuel after your egg-cellent effort.

Join us in Old Fair Oaks for a day of laughter, community spirit, and a little friendly competition. Whether you’re chasing the Fair Oaks Chicken or conquering the hills, the Chicken Run is an event you won’t want to miss. See you at the starting line!
