Race The Flame

Are you ready? If you had to escape a wildfire in Santa Cruz how long would it take you to run or walk to reach safety?  Would you know which way to go? Here’s your chance to test yourself and gain knowledge about wildfires and their impact on our community.  Join the second award-winning emergency preparedness run/walk in Santa Cruz - hosted by the City of Santa Cruz and The University of California at Santa Cruz.  Adults are only $20 and kids 12 and under are $15.  This will automatically be calculated at check-out.  Each participant will receive a bib with a timing chip regardless of which category you select. Competitive runners should pick the run option.  Walkers and strollers will start after competitive runners. Because this event takes place on the UCSC campus there is a strict "no dogs" policy, so please plan on leaving your pooch at home.  Background  Race the Flame combines a community fun run, and an wildfire and emergency preparedness fair hosted by the City of Sa
