About the 10th Annual BRAVE Race 2027
The BRAVE Race is a charity event held at a high school stadium in Aliso Viejo, raising money for a foundation dedicated to child safety. You can run or walk, and several distance options are available, including a virtual participation path for those who cannot make it in person. Chip timing is set up on site, so results are official.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at a running store in nearby Laguna Hills. Picking up early gets you into a raffle for a gift certificate toward running shoes, with the winner announced at the race itself.

10th Annual BRAVE Race 2026 Results
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.
