The 5k and 10k courses will take the runners down through the serene Niles Community Park to the scenic Alameda Creek trails for an out flat out and back while the Kids 1/4 and 1/2 mile take place on the school grounds.

This year also marks 10 years of the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) Elementary School Challenge. Every year the Challenge encourages the local students, administrators, teachers, and parents to participate in the event. Participants are asked to indicate which school they are walking/running for. The school with the most registered participants will receive a $1,000 grant that goes towards sports equipment, uniforms, travel to events, and other needs of sports teams of the school that they could not have been able to provide to students without the grant.

The FEF is grateful for their many sponsors such as Lam Research, Fremont Family & Sport Chiropractic and Tri-Valley Triathlon Club who make s this event possible. This is one of Fremont’s premier running events that promotes fitness and healthy lives for local families. The Run also encourages students that could not afford to participate in after school sports programs. The proceeds from individual or corporate sponsors benefit the Fremont Education Foundation's Guy Emanuele Sports Fund (GESF). The GESF provides scholarships to high school students who face economic hardship and might not otherwise be able to participate in after-school sports or cheerleading. In 2013, the GESF gave money to every Fremont elementary school, $1,500 to each of the junior high schools and 43 grants to athletes and cheerleaders from all five FUSD high schools.
