The Human Race is a nationwide community fundraising event for nonprofit organizations and is the largest collaborative fund-raising event in Sonoma County as well as the largest Human Race in the nation!



        


The Sonoma County Race features a 3K and 10K run and walk through Howarth and Spring Lake Parks, rain or shine.

Organizations and businesses recruit walkers/runners/pledge-gatherers to raise funds. Funds can be raised for any nonprofit organization, school or church. The run and walk is open to all.

The Human Race is a proven fundraiser that has been successful for Sonoma County nonprofits for 27 years and continues to grow. The Volunteer Center provides marketing, publicity, materials, and experienced assistance. Nonprofits and businesses provide the people power.

In 2007, Sonoma County held the largest Human Race in the nation for the eighteenth year with over 10,000 participants and over $1,000,000 raised for over 400 nonprofits who benefited from the event. The first Human Race in 1981 raised $1,800.

The 50,000 people who contribute $5, $10, or $100 to their favorite nonprofit are the secret to Sonoma County's Human Race success story.
