Running for good.
The Run for Food started out in 2006 with just over 1,000 participants and now the event brings together 5,000 participants each year along with 75 businesses and 200 volunteers for a true community-wide event.
Chico’s Largest Annual Event
Held in beautiful Bidwell Park, this family friendly event is a major fundraiser for the Jesus Center, hosting generations of families joining together to enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday while supporting a worthy cause.
