A family tradition since 2002!
This years event will NOT be held at Woodward Park (but it is not canceled, we will have both a marked course and a virtual run. Read on...)
While we are in a "Purple Tier" our county is not approving "in-person" races. At the same time, the California State Department of Public Health states:
We have been working hard to bring running activities that are compliant with state and county rules, while providing the opportunity to maintain physical and mental health through permitted exercise. This years Valentine Run is modified to meet these goals.
Wherever you choose to maintain physical and mental health by safely going for a run, we encourage everyone follow state and county guidelines for everyone's safety.
It is more fun and CHEAPER to run together...
Tour what is possibly the most romantic place in Fresno.
The Shinzen Friendship Garden will provide coupons for a free entry for our participants to tour the garden. Admission is free, donations to the garden are accepted.
Come tour the peace and beauty of Shinzen and the Clark Bonsai Collection. With landscape views at every turn of the path, your stroll along the walkways is a pleasant and rewarding experience. Discovering the art of bonsai through the notable Clark Bonsai Collection and the sculptures created is a gift to your senses.
Shinzen is a place for exploration, learning, reflection, serenity and renewal. During your visit, please be respectful of the grounds and of other visitors who are enjoying the beauty and peacefulness of the Garden.
This year, participants will have access to a digital bib and finisher's certificate which includes the runners name.
Shirt sizes are guaranteed for registrations prior to February 7th. Please register early so we can include your size in the shirt order.
Extra swag items will be available to add soon from our store. You can also add items from our store after you register. All store items are mailed separately and immediately.
