We are not holding a virtual event this year. If you can’t run in person, you are welcome to register & fundraise, but you will need to have someone pick up your packet & medal locally during packet pickup at Levi’s Stadium on Thursday 8/18 or Friday 8/19. Due to limited staffing, we will not have the capacity to mail packets or medals.
Every registrant will get a medal and a Sport-Tek® race shirt. Both will be available for in-person packet pickup only.
The Golden Heart Run is 3 miles.
We are happy to help you change your shirt size. Just shoot us an email at info@goldenheartfund.org and we can help you out. After in-person packet pick up, we will not able to accommodate shirt changes or exchanges.
