Wear your favorite hat to reflect this year’s “hats on, hearts open for foster kids” theme.
The event starts at the Brewery Arts Center, 449 W. King St., and winds through West Carson
City’s residential neighborhoods.

The run-walk and fair will kick off at 9 a.m.

Free family resorce fair: 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Race proceeds will support 2026 Camp RennerVation, an all-expenses-paid camp for foster
children run through actor Jeremy Renner’s charitable foundation.
Each camp session serves approximately 110 youth, identified through a collaborative
partnership with DCFS to ensure those who can benefit most have access to the experience.
Organizers emphasize that access is a priority, not a barrier.
Through these group activities, campers build meaningful peer relationships while
strengthening their cognitive, social, and emotional skills. The program creates a safe and
supportive environment where foster and at-risk youth can develop confidence, practice
mindfulness, and gain essential life and coping skills that support their overall well-being.
Registration fees begin at $35 and include a race T-shirt and finisher bag. Race-walk divisions
include children (ages 10-12), teens (ages 13-17) and adults (ages 18+). Children younger than
10 participate for free with adult registration and supervision. Teams are comprised of at least
three people, who can be any age and participate in any event.
To register, visit Walk Us Home – Run/Walk for Foster Homes.
Organizers will award prizes for funniest hat, most creative hat, best matching hats, most
spirited person, and most spirited team.
