Description
League of Mexican American Women warmly invites you to be a part of something special—the 5th Annual Frida Fun Run! This beloved event celebrates community, fitness, culture, and is an opportunity to raise scholarship funds for local students.
Since this is our fifth year, we're celebrating our own “Cinco-ñera” marking five years of bringing the central valley community together. Our aim this year is to bolster our scholarship program, increasing the number of scholarships awarded to students. Join us for a day filled with friends, family, fun, and fitness!
Held on Saturday, October 3, 2026, at Fresno City College, the event takes place on a vibrant, picturesque campus in the heart of Fresno. With its lush green spaces, historic buildings, and tree-lined walkways, the setting beautifully reflects the spirit of community and cultural pride.
Join us and help us empower the next generation through education!
