The 10th Annual Foster5k is a cornerstone event in Silicon Valley dedicated to championing the cause of foster children in Santa Clara County. All proceeds support Child Advocates of Silicon Valley (CASV) and its Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, dedicated to providing everlasting impact on our community's most vulnerable youth.
The Foster5K features a chip-timed race with the options for Kids 12 and under to participate in the Kids Dash, a fun-filled event designed just for kids! This untimed fun run features a 700 meter Big Kids Dash for youth ages 6 to 10 and a 250 meter Little Kids Dash for children ages 5 and under.
Whether sprinting, jogging, or skipping to the finish line, everyone can have a good time and support our community's foster youth along the way. See you there!
