Event Description
Fuel up for the Raceway 5K at Sonoma Raceway! Sprint or stroll the same course as NASCAR drivers, with stunning wine country views as you navigate through the 12-turn, multi-dimensional road course with a 5K and 2.52-mile option. Run or walk the self-timed course, and if you still have a need for speed, take a high-speed “hot lap” around the track with a professional driver at the wheel. Kids can participate in a Kids Fun Run on the track, plus a LEGO “Build and Race” and more!
All proceeds from the event will benefit both Speedway Children’s Charities Sonoma and No Stomach For Cancer – two causes that support children and families in critical and medical need.
The event will open with a dedication in honor of longtime raceway spokesperson John Cardinale, who passed away in 2013 after a battle with stomach cancer.
Race day entertainment includes:
- A pre-race warm up to get the blood flowing, and drills to help you feel ready to race provided by Danielly's Fitness

- Post-race compression therapy for participants provided by Sonoma Cryo

The race track is a smooth, paved surface with various elevation changes. The Kids Fun Run will be held on a small portion of the track, which is flat. Strollers and dogs on a leash are welcome.
