Anime Fan and Fitness Festival 5k Run

Join Initial Mile’s Anime Fan and Fitness Festival 5k Run in Gilroy, California, at Christmas Hill Park. The flat, out-and-back 5K course follows paved trails, starting and finishing at the park. The event blends anime and fitness with a festival featuring creators, artists, cosplay, food vendors, and a Warriors Obstacle Sprint.

Race perks include a timing bib, professional timing, and a finisher wood medal. Proceeds support Humane Society Silicon Valley (10% of 5K registrations). It's a family-friendly day with free parking nearby, and cosplay is welcome as long as it doesn't disrupt others.

Awards go to the top three male, female, and non-binary runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
