Walk Us Home 5K for Foster Homes

Lace up your shoes for a cause that truly moves you at the 4th Annual Walk Us Home Run/Walk for Foster Homes, taking place on Saturday, May 9, 2026, in beautiful Carson City, NV. This heartwarming event offers participants the choice of an 8K, 5K, or 3K distance, catering to all levels of runners and walkers. Starting and finishing at the vibrant Brewery Arts Center, the course winds through the scenic residential neighborhoods of West Carson City, providing a pleasant and engaging backdrop for your efforts. Typical race day conditions in early May boast highs around 71°F and lows near 36°F, with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, creating ideal weather for a memorable outing.

More than just a race, the Walk Us Home event is a powerful community gathering dedicated to raising crucial awareness and support for the urgent need for foster homes across Nevada.

All proceeds directly benefit the 2026 Camp RennerVation, an unforgettable summer camp experience in Lake Tahoe for Nevada's foster youth, supported by actor Jeremy Renner's charitable foundation.

Beyond the course, a lively Family Fair and Resource Fair awaits you back at the Brewery Arts Center, featuring games, activities, entertainment, and valuable resources for families. Water stations will be provided along the route to keep participants hydrated.
