2027 Sebastopol Solstice Summer

Race Information

The Sebastopol Solstice 5K is a festive community fun run in Sebastopol, California, celebrating the shortest (or longest) day of the year with a scenic out-and-back along the West County Trail through town.

The event offers a timed 5K alongside a “littles run” for young children, and serves as a joint fundraiser benefiting Gnomies Preschool and local soccer field upgrades at Ragle Ranch. All participants receive a commemorative medal, and families are encouraged to don holiday-themed attire in support of the celebratory, small-town atmosphere.
