2 fun run, running, and walking events in Avenal, California

🏁 The 2nd Annual Special Needs Support Squad Car Show is BACK — and this year, we're kicking things off with a 5K Fun Run at 8 AM!

Run, walk, or roll with us to support the incredible work of the Special Needs Support Squad. Learn how our community can be more inclusive for children with autism and families navigating the special needs journey.

Registration fees go to Special Needs Support Squad Family events, education workshops, and end of the year Lego Land trip for a special needs child.

Then stick around — because after the run, it's all about low & slow rides, chrome that shines, and live music that hits.

Whether you lace up for the 5K or cruise in for the cars, you're showing up for a cause that matters.

T-shirts for those that sign up by 4/6/2026.

Join us in celebrating Avenal's 44th Annual Old Timer's Day - Heritage Festival. With free Lucha Libre matches starting at 2pm at Rice Park and a Fun Run. Starting at 8am this will be the first event of the festival before the parade begins. Whether you run, walk, jog, or cheer, people of all ages and fitness levels are welcome—because every step goes towards our shared goal of raising funds for two Avenal High School scholarships.

Organized by Avenal's newest Run Club - the Skyline Striders we welcome all Valley run clubs to run with us.
