We Run Bayview 5K

We Run Bayview 5K returns on Saturday, October 17, 2026, marking its third year as a celebration of health, community spirit, and local pride. This year’s race takes runners through the heart of Third Street in Bayview-Hunters Point, starting at Candlestick Point State Recreation Area (CPSRA) and finishing at the District 10 Health Fest at Southeast Community Center.
The route is designed as a point-to-point course, offering participants a scenic journey that showcases the vibrant community spirit of Bayview. Free shuttles will be available from the finish line back to Candlestick Point for those who need them. Along the way, runners will experience the historic Third Street corridor lined with local businesses and neighborhoods brimming with life.
Proceeds from this year’s event will support a new Healthy Food Bank initiative aimed at providing Bayview residents with access to fresh, nutritious foods and wellness resources. Each registered participant receives a meal voucher redeemable at participating local eateries along Third Street, encouraging runners to explore the neighborhood while supporting community businesses.
The We Run Bayview (WRB) 5K was established to unite the community through movement, wellness programs, and collective impact. Over three years, it has grown into a beloved tradition that promotes healthy living, supports local initiatives, and fosters connections among residents. This year’s event marks an exciting new chapter as we expand our reach by supporting health resources, connecting participants with community partners, and encouraging active lifestyles.
The race begins at Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, a place deeply connected to the legacy of Claude Everhart, who played a pivotal role in transforming neglected land into a vibrant natural park. His efforts have left an enduring impact on Bayview-Hunters Point, turning once-polluted areas into thriving recreational spaces enjoyed by all.
Join us as we trace the paths shaped by community leaders like Claude Everhart and contribute to building a healthier future for everyone who calls Bayview home.
