SoCal's Tiki Beach 5K & 10K Run/Walk

At Caren Ware Events, our races do more than just cross finish lines. Caren Ware uses donations and race proceeds to help spread health and hope. Both locally and around the world, by directly addressing the real needs she "runs into" along the way.

When you register or donate, you are directly empowering communities and creating a lasting impact through the power of our running family! 

Local & Global Initiatives
🏔️ Sotang Village Community Hub (Nepal)
Our current featured international focus is helping the warm, hardworking people of Sotang, Nepal. Their current community building and church is constructed of mud and is rapidly deteriorating.

We are raising funds to build a strong, permanent structure engineered with concrete, wood, metal roofing, proper restrooms, a kitchen, and a porter bunkhouse. Once complete, this safe, resilient hub will give the local farming community a secure place to gather, share meals, seek shelter during severe weather, and support travelers and porters passing through for years to come.

🐴 Miss Pam’s Ranch (Local Youth & Accessibility)
Miss Pam builds confidence, self-esteem, and life skills in youth as they learn to ride, love, and care for ranch animals—including horses, pigs, goats, sheep, and a llama! We provide ongoing support for custom wheelchair accessibility so Miss Pam can continue leading her youth programs seamlessly on wheels.

🌍 Mountain & Trail Communities (Himalayas & Mt. Kilimanjaro)
Born out of running extreme global events like the Everest Marathon and Mt. Kilimanjaro Marathon, we provide continuous relief to high-elevation Sherpa families, porters, and mountain guides. Proceeds help fund proper cold-weather gear, rugged footwear, emergency medical care, and schooling for village children.

Our Sustainable Goal
Through Caren Ware Events and our incredible running community, our goal is to raise $3,000 a month to provide dependable, ongoing support to these active projects. Together, we’ve already funded solar-powered equipment, medical treatments, village transportation, and life-changing accessibility modifications.
