About the 72nd Annual Fontana Days Run
The Fontana Days Run traces a route along Sierra Avenue through the heart of the city. The course is mostly flat and urban, passing through street-closed corridors with police managing major intersections. Several distance options are available, from a children's dash up to a half marathon, and the finish line draws a crowd with local vendors, food, and live entertainment.
Packet pickup happens the evening before at Fontana City Hall, alongside a fitness expo. Race-morning pickup opens very early but closes before the gun goes off, so the pre-race-day window is worth taking. Parking is available in a few spots near the start: the City Hall lot, a library parking structure, street parking on Spring Street, and a newer structure at Sierra Avenue and Arrow Boulevard.
