Join Us for the 2026 Run 4 Hunger 5K, 10K & Kids Fun Runs

Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday While Fighting Hunger!

Start your Independence Day with purpose, community, and celebration at the 21st annual Run 4 Hunger on Saturday, July 4, 2026! This year’s event is extra special as we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States — a historic milestone honoring freedom, resilience, and the spirit of coming together for one another.

Hosted by Elk Grove Food Bank Services, the Run 4 Hunger has become a beloved Fourth of July tradition that brings together runners, walkers, families, and neighbors of all ages for a morning of patriotism, fitness, and compassion. Whether you’re racing for a personal best, enjoying a fun walk with friends, or cheering from the sidelines, every step helps support local families facing food insecurity.

Proceeds from the Run 4 Hunger directly benefit the Food Bank’s critical programs, including emergency food distribution, senior mobile outreach, nutrition support services, and assistance for vulnerable individuals and families throughout our community. Your participation helps ensure that thousands of local residents continue to receive the food and support they need during difficult times.

So grab your red, white, and blue, lace up your running shoes, and join us as we celebrate America’s Semi quincentennial in a meaningful way — by giving back to our community and helping neighbors in need.

Come run. Come walk. Come celebrate.

Together, we can make this Independence Day one to remember.
