RUN AGAINST HUNGERSPECIAL EVENT
THANKSGIVING DAY
NOVEMBER 28TH 6:30AM The 2024 Run Against Hunger will be held on Thanksgiving Day morning starting at the Banner Island Ball Park AT 8:00 AM. The 10K run is 2 laps starting at Banner Island around Weber Point to Morelli Park and back.

There is also a run for kids around the Stockton Arena building, a 5K run (once around the course) and a 5K Walk/Run along Tuleburg Levee and the Stockton Waterfront.
SDARC will be supporting the run with communications and "eyes and ears" along the course from start to finish. It's one of our best attended public service events. Volunteers for the event are usually given a complimentary "Run Against Hunger" T-Shirt from the Stockton Food Bank sponsors.
To volunteer you should have a good working HT for 2M & 440 MHz, spare battery, dress appropriately depending on weather conditions the day of the event. Each SDARC Volunteer is required to wear a yellow safety vest. If you do not have a vest or and HT, we have spares for you.
