Prepare for a truly inspiring and challenging running experience at the Run4Kids Ultra Running Party, taking place on April 17-18, 2026, in scenic Corona, California. This unique event is more than just a race; it's a vibrant fundraiser for the 100 Mile Club, dedicated to fostering active and healthy lifestyles in children. Runners of all ambitions will find their stride here, with distances spanning from a 5K to a Half Marathon (13.1M), Marathon (26.2M), 50M, 100M, and timed events including 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour ultra divisions. The atmosphere is celebrated for its fun and camaraderie, making it a perfect opportunity to achieve personal bests while contributing to a meaningful cause.

The Run4Kids Ultra Running Party boasts a fast and flat course, ideal for setting personal records. Runners will navigate a USATF-certified 1/4 mile or 1-mile loop, composed of approximately 90% packed dirt and 10% concrete, located at Cesar Chavez Academy, nestled in the foothills of south Corona. This loop design provides unparalleled access for pacers and crew, allowing participants to set up personal aid stations right alongside the course for quick and convenient stops every half mile. While a small race aid station offers essential coffee, soup, and snacks, the event encourages a self-supported approach, giving runners ultimate control over their nutrition and gear.

What truly sets this event apart is its "no excuses" philosophy and deep commitment to the 100 Mile Club, a non-profit challenging youth to run or walk 100 miles in a school year. The race has a strong history as part of The Southern California's UltraRunner's Grand Prix Series and consistently brings together a supportive community. With typical race day conditions seeing comfortable highs around 79°F and lows near 49°F, and only a 2% chance of precipitation, the weather should be conducive for enduring efforts. Whether you're pushing for an ultra-marathon buckle or enjoying a shorter distance, the Run4Kids Ultra Running Party offers a rewarding challenge with stunning day and night views and the satisfaction of running for a great cause.
