Event Description
The Dream Mile is back In-Person in the Bay Area!
We are very excited to have everyone back this year!

All the participants get a full sleeve technical t-shirt and a medal.
What is a Dream Mile?
The Dream Mile is a Run / Walk Fundraiser event for Vibha, with the anticipated participation of 1,000 patrons from across the greater San Francisco Bay Area. The Dream Mile has become a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners in various cities across America. To date, the Dream Mile has raised more than $3M to support upwards of 180,000 children.
Who is it for?
The Dream Mile is for anyone who would like to walk or run a few miles to help realize the dreams of millions of underprivileged children.

The 5K Walk is a non-competitive and non timed event. As such, participants will not receive a timing chip and there won't be any winner awards.
