Get ready to lace up and scoop it up at the sweetest run in Fresno—the 2025 Hot Fudge Sundae Run!

This year, we are stoked to be sponsors of this fun-filled charity event that blends fitness, community, and a whole lot of hot fudge. The Hot Fudge Sundae Run is an event for all ages that lets you choose your pace: a timed 5K run/walk or a relaxed, untimed 2-mile walk. And for those who prefer to participate from afar, a virtual run option is also in the mix. Every participant crosses the finish line to a custom finisher’s medallion, a cool event shirt, and—of course—a hand-crafted hot fudge sundae!!

You can form a “Sundae Team” with friends, family, or coworkers and tackle the course together. Whether you're sprinting solo or scooping up the miles as a crew, it’s all about coming together for a cause that’s as sweet as it is impactful.

Running for a Cause

While the promise of a hot fudge sundae is enticing, the real reward is supporting a noble cause. Proceeds from the run benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization dedicated to treating and defeating childhood cancer. Since 1962, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has pushed the overall childhood cancer survival rate from 20% to 80% now in 2025.

By participating, you're contributing to their mission of ensuring a future in which no child dies from cancer.
