Description

Om Run was launched in 2009 to bring the Bay Area Chinmaya Mission Family together. It is a fun filled day of outdoor activities for people of all ages. Om Run hosts more than 2000 people annually. It is the largest community building event organized by CMSJ.  Om Run has evolved into a unique running event, in that, the focus is on community building with attractions such as pony rides, inflatable games, music and food  along with a 5K, 10K and a 1/2 marathon race. Beautiful Vasona Park has breathtaking vistas and has hosted Om Run for the past several years.
