10 Mile Run
2 Mile (Non-Timed)
Event Description
Spring energy. Good movement. Matcha magic.
This is your feel-good run to start the season right.
Matcha for Miles is our newest wellness event— a blend of community-powered energy and feel-good miles. Think: your favorite Saturday morning routine, but leveled up with DJ beats, friends, and a whole community moving together.
Whether you’re an elite runner, not-so-elite runner, stroller-pushing hero, or maybe you're in need of a hot-girl walk (yes diva!)… this morning is for you!
Happening two weeks before the California Classic Half Marathon, it’s the perfect shakeout for your race— or a chance to simply show up for yourself and feel good while we dive into spring.
Bring your people. Bring your energy. Bring your matcha sweet-tooth.
Spring is in the air, and there’s no better time to celebrate wellness, movement, and community— one mile (and matcha) at a time.
Let’s run, walk, vibe, and sip!

Supporting Project Run Madera
We’re proud to partner with Project Run Madera as the beneficiary of Matcha for Miles.
Project Run Madera is a nonprofit dedicated to creating access and opportunity in the sport of running for youth in Madera and surrounding communities. Through their programs, young athletes receive the essential tools they need to thrive! This includes running shoes, apparel, mentorship, and guidance both on and off the course.
For many students, the cost of gear and participation can be a barrier to getting started. Project Run Madera works to remove those obstacles so that every young runner has the chance to discover their potential, build confidence, and pursue goals that reach far beyond the finish line.
Your support helps provide resources, encouragement, and life-changing opportunities for the next generation of runners.
Every step makes a difference.
Support their mission and help empower youth through running!
