  Family Fun Day!

  Find your fast feet – the 12th Annual Lighthouse 5K Benefit Fun Run and Family Fun Day is kicking off! This year’s scenic site? The gently rolling hills and tidy trails of Ancient Peaks Margarita Vineyards. Start at the stunning Ancient Peaks Barn and wind your way around the vines of this beautiful venue. Ideal for runners trying to set a quick trail time, or for wandering walkers taking in the views.

  Kids can run like rabbits as they race the half-mile or the 100-yard dash (6 and under), and jump for joy in the bounce house.

  Stay to enjoy Kiwanis’ always perfect pancake breakfast, listen to music from DJ Trent, visit our vendor booths, and paint your heart out with the HiYa Rock Project, too!

  This event benefits Lighthouse Atascadero – a valuable program dedicated to serving the needs of our youth by building a safe and healthy community through Awareness, Prevention, Intervention and Education.

  Ryan’s Ranch Run is a community-driven 5K, 10K, and Kids Mile hosted at the breathtaking Thousand Hills Ranch in Pismo Beach—Ryan Teixeira’s family ranch and the heart of his legacy. This unique event blends scenic running routes with a meaningful mission, raising funds for Central Coast Athletics Foundation (CCAF) and 17 Strong, an organization founded in Ryan’s honor to provide Victory Trips to young adults battling life-threatening illness.

  Runners and walkers of all ages take on a mixed-terrain course with rolling hills and the spirit of community all around. Race day begins with the inspiring 17 Strong Victory Lap, followed by the Kids Mile and the 5K/10K races. After crossing the finish line, participants enjoy a lively festival with live music, local vendors, delicious food, raffle prizes, and family-friendly fun.

  Ryan’s Ranch Run isn’t just a race—it’s a celebration of resilience, community, and giving back. Each step supports two impactful nonprofits and helps continue Ryan’s legacy of strength, joy, and living life to the fullest.
