We are excited to announce that the 33rd annual Hit the Road Jack running races and Family Fun Run is set. This legacy community event takes place on the historic Sonoma Plaza where over 1,000 runners, volunteers and supportive families congregate to celebrate Sonoma and an active, healthy lifestyle. Over the years, Hit the Road Jack has provided multi-generational families from Sonoma and the surrounding Bay Area cities with an opportunity to experience our community and create magical memories for all ages with a focus on giving back to the community. At the forefront is the youth of Sonoma – whether ‘competing’ or simply ‘completing’ – every child is a winner when they participate. The Sonoma Volunteer Firefighter's Association, a community focused 501c3 non-profit organization, took over race organization in 2013. Beginning 2020, Blistering Road Race Management will manage the course setup, registration and marketing.

We have three different race distances.
