Sacramento, CA (April 1, 2025) |
Thousands of dedicated credit union leaders and other supporters will converge in front of the California State Capitol on Sunday, April 6, 2025 for the annual Credit Union SACTOWN Run. A post-event news release will be distributed after the race.
This annual event unites runners, walkers, and supporters from more than 60 California and Nevada credit unions in a powerful demonstration of solidarity to benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN). This year’s fundraising goal is $200,000.
Hosted by the Sacramento Running Association (SRA), and having raised $3 million for local CMN Hospitals over the past several years, the Credit Union SACTOWN Run is championed by the California Credit Union League, Nevada’s Credit Unions, and credit union professionals and volunteers who embody the industry’s “people helping people” philosophy. Adults, kids, and professional runners from across California and Nevada will take to the streets of Sacramento in the early morning, with the iconic California State Capitol as the starting and finishing line.
This year’s event features the challenging 10-mile race, a 5K run/walk, and the Miracle Mile, offering something for every level of participant. Beyond the race, the Credit Union SACTOWN Run is a celebration of community, fostering connections and strengthening bonds within the Sacramento area.
Each year, witnessing the enthusiasm and dedication of credit union leaders is truly inspiring as they share in their commitment to building stronger communities and supporting those in need. The impact that Credit Union SACTOWN Run participants make, in terms of funds raised and the spirit of unity, resonates deeply across Sacramento and the CMN Hospital network.
The annual run also serves as the USA Track and Field’s Pacific Association 10-Mile Championship, drawing competitive athletes while maintaining its welcoming atmosphere for participants of all abilities. The SRA’s involvement guarantees a professionally organized and enjoyable experience for everyone.
