Halloween 5K presented by Sports Basement
Saturday, October 27, 2018
Join Sports Basement for a very special (and spooky!) 5K race to raise funds for one of our oldest and dearest partners! 100% of proceeds from race registration and sponsors will be donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco (BGCSF). BGCSF is committed to inspiring and enabling all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens. Sports Basement shares this commitment to youth and our communities.
Whether you're looking to do your personal best, looking for an excuse to dress up or just want a fun day with the kids in the park, there is something for everyone. Come for the race, stay for the after-party at Sports Basement Presidio! There will be food trucks, music, games and great deals throughout the store and much much more!
