We Run Bayview 5K Returns for Year 3!

October 17, 2026

Three years ago, we launched the We Run Bayview 5K to bring our community together through movement and purpose. This year, we're making our biggest move yet—bringing our third annual race to Third Street, one of the most iconic corridors in Bayview-Hunters Point.

Starting at Candlestick Point and running through the heart of Third Street to the finish line at the District 10 Health Fest, every step we take together helps build a healthier, stronger Bayview.

Even more meaningful—proceeds from this year's race will support the launch of a Healthy Food Bank initiative, helping provide Bayview residents with access to fresh, nutritious foods and wellness resources.

Together, we're not just running a race. We're investing in the health and future of our community.

Why We Run

We Run Bayview (WRB) 5K was created to bring our community together through movement, wellness, and collective impact.

For three years, runners, families, neighbors, and local organizations have come together to celebrate the strength and resilience of Bayview-Hunters Point. More than a race, WRB is a community tradition that promotes healthy living, supports local initiatives, and creates opportunities for residents to connect with one another.

This year marks an exciting new chapter as we expand our impact by:

Beginning at Candlestick Point, the race follows historic Third Street through the heart of Bayview-Hunters Point.
Crossing the finish line at the District 10 Health Fest
Supporting the launch of a Healthy Food Bank initiative serving San Francisco residents
Connecting participants with local organizations, health resources, and community partners

Every registration helps expand access to healthy food, encourages active lifestyles, and invests in a healthier future for Bayview-Hunters Point.

ABOUT YCD

FUELING A HEALTHIER BAYVIEW

We are excited to host We Run Bayview 5K at the iconic Candlestick Point State Recreation Area, a location deeply intertwined with the legacy of one of YCD’s founders, Claude Everhart.

As the chairman of the Candlestick Point Citizens’ Advisory Committee, he played a crucial role in the construction of Candlestick State Park in the Bayview–Hunters Point area. He championed a public process that centered community input and control, transforming the Bayshore into a natural park built on landfill.

This park stands today as a testament to the power of community-driven development and the importance of preserving natural spaces for public enjoyment.
