Human Race - One Communty, One Dream

The Human Race is Sonoma County's Largest community fundraiser. It provides an opportunity for all nonprofit organizations in Sonoma County to raise money for their programs. Walkers and runners (and wheelchair rollers) solicit pledges from friends and supporters for contributions to

a favorite participating nonprofit organization. Race day consists of a 3K and 10K run and walk (and roll), a pancake breakfast and lots of celebration, contests, prizes, and music. We hope you will join us in support of the Center for Well-Being! To find out how you can help, email info@nccwb.org or call us at 707-575-6043.
