Description

Race Location

Fahrens Park Disc Golf Course
3400 San Lorenzo Way
Merced, CA 95348

Lace up those running shoes for the fourth Gateway to Yosemite 5K/10K on September 20, 2026! Fahrens Park offers a spacious area for spectators and amazing some amazing trails through the disc golf course and dog park with the 10K turnaround point at General Vang Pao Park.

This year's funds will go toward a new home for Elroy and his tortoise friends at the Merced Applegate Zoo. Proceeds will support the development of a new tortoise exhibit designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging habitat for the zoo’s tortoises. The improved exhibit will also allow visitors to see and learn about Elroy and his friends throughout the year.

A huge thank you to the initial exhibit sponsors, Merced Breakfast Lions! Every registration, donation, and step taken brings us closer to giving Elroy and his friends the home they deserve. Together, we can cross the finish line and make this new exhibit a reality!

Every Pace Wins the Race!

*Participants 13 and younger must be accompanied by an adult on the race course.*
