The City of Fontana through the Community Services Department is hosting the 55th Annual Fontana Days Run on Saturday, June 5, 2010. The City of Fontana Half Marathon Course has been recognized as the fastest in the world. The half marathon began back in 1955 with a reported 200 participants. Race founders were unaware that the annual half marathon would grow to include over 1400 participants. The Fontana Days Run is a safe, festive and well organized event with a small town feel. The 55th Annual Fontana Days Run features a Half Marathon, Children’s Healthy Half Mile Dash, 5K Family Fitness Walk, 5K Run/Race Walk, Vendors, Exhibitors, Live Entertainment and Finish Line Festivities.

One objective of the Fontana Community Services Department is to promote health and fitness through positive recreation programming. In addition to accomplishing this objective, the Annual Fontana Days Run also creates opportunities for corporate sponsors to promote their business on a local, regional and even national level. The event is also used to develop and cultivate partnerships between the City of Fontana and local service clubs, school districts, non profit organizations, law enforcement agencies, forestry services and other emergency services personnel. For more information on getting involved, call the Fontana Community Services Department at (909) 349-6900.
