The 3rd Annual Michael Bazan Jimenez & Noah Lichwa Memorial Fun Run will be a fundraiser taking place on Winters Youth Day, April 25th, 2026 to help raise money for the Noah Lichwa & Michael Bazan Jimenez Memorial Scholarships. On June 9th 2022, we tragically lost two young men which effected our community deeply. We are bringing back this Youth Day Fun Run not only to raise money to benefit students at the local high school, but also to remember and honor the boys we lost that day. This will be a 5K fun run/walk, on April 25th, 2026 and starting at 7:00 AM. All funds raised will be given to the Scholarship and awarded at the Winters High School Senior Night. If you can't register on line, in person registration will take place on Friday April 24th from 5:00 to 7:00 PM at the Winters Community Center. All participants that register by Thursday April 2nd will be guaranteed a commemorative Noah Lichwa and Michael Bazan Jimenez Memorial Fun Run t-shirt. Participants who register after that

will only receive t-shirts as supplies last, on a first come first serve basis.

A BIG THANK YOU to our Sponsors!!

Ready to run in the biggest Fleet Feet event ever? Welcome to The Big Run!

On June 3rd, Fleet Feet locations nationwide will hold a local 5K run. Our focus is on community, and we want to see the whole community participate because, seriously, running together rocks. Let us recap the ways:

• You get to join Fleet Feet communities across the country in doing something we've never done before—a nationally-coordinated 5K race taking place in different locations all on the same day.

• It's on a Wednesday—who couldn't use a mid-week pump-up?

• Every finisher gets a medal. Not just any medal. A very cool, make-your-friends-jealous medal.

• Register before May 22 to be guaranteed a shirt.

• Sign up soon- we only have 200 entries available! No race day sign ups.

• We know some people. And some pretty cool brands (cough, cough, Brooks). Let's just say, we're planning some fun raffle giveaways and category prizes.

Our race will also be raising much needed funds for the Parkinson's Research Foundation. Race Director, Carol Gilpin's mother, Pat Foster battled this disease the last 10 years of her life and Carol is celebrating her life at this event. We will be serving ice cream at the finish line to celebrate Pat, and the full life she lived. Please donate here.

The Big Run coincides with Global Running Day and is open to runners of all levels and abilities. All participants will run their miles on the track. This run is untimed, participants will be responsible for counting their own mileage either by keeping track of their laps or by GPS watch. This event is stroller friendly. As much as we love our four-legged friends, no dogs are allowed at the event.
