Join the community at the Support Blue Fresno race on Saturday, February 28, 2026, in the scenic Woodward Park, Fresno, CA, where runners of all levels can participate in a 6.2M (10K) run, a 3.1M (5K) run, or a family-friendly 2M walk. This event stands out for its powerful mission: to visibly support the brave men and women of law enforcement and the Fresno Police and Fire Chaplaincy, a non-profit dedicated to providing spiritual and emotional support to first responders and the community. It's a grassroots effort to foster trust, strengthen community bonds, and educate youth on the importance of positive relationships with officers.
The courses within Woodward Park offer a chance to engage with fellow participants in a supportive atmosphere, with aid stations available along the 10K and 5K routes to keep you hydrated. Typical race day conditions in late February boast pleasant weather, with highs around 66F and lows near 45F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running conditions. Participants can look forward to receiving an official event shirt, a finisher's medal, a bag, and a bib, celebrating their accomplishment and solidarity. Adding to the unique experience, the event often features appearances by Fresno Police Department tactical units, Skywatch, Mounted Patrol, and K9 units, offering an engaging opportunity for interaction.
Whether you choose the challenging 10K, the popular 5K, or the inclusive 2-mile walk, your participation helps raise vital funds for chaplaincy programs that support dedicated police and fire personnel. The event also offers a virtual run option for those who wish to support the cause remotely. With separate start times for each distance—the 10K at 9:00 AM PST, the 5K at 9:05 AM PST, and the 2M walk at 9:10 AM PST—the Support Blue Fresno race provides a well-organized and impactful experience for everyone. Children aged 9 and under even receive a special discount for registering in the 5K or 2-mile race.
