Supporting local nonprofits since 1981

For 44 years, the Sonoma County Human Race has been a critical fundraiser, advocacy tool, and much anticipated community-building event. Collectively raising over $26 million dollars for 7,700 nonprofits, schools, and community groups across the North Bay.

The Sonoma County Human Race is the largest community-driven 5k fundraising event in Sonoma County where local area nonprofits are supported by the funds individuals, businesses and teams raise – together. Anyone can sign up and join a team or create a team and start raising money for their favorite nonprofits. The theme of this year’s Human Race is #BeACommunityHero.

From healthcare to child welfare, environment, education and arts, culture, civil rights, and animal rights, our local nonprofits fulfill services that support a healthier, happier, and more equitable Sonoma County. Sign up as agency, join a fundraising team, participate as an individual, sponsor, donate to your favorite charity, or table in the Community Village. Please check back with us as we prepare to launch the event and fundraising site.

Sign up to fundraise for free! Reserve a booth in the Community Village to increase your visibility and connect with locals.
