Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run 2027

Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run

The Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run is Casa Familiar’s signature annual fundraiser. It celebrates movement, unity, and community. For 6 years, the event has brought together families, athletes, and supporters from across Tijuana, San Ysidro, and South Bay San Diego. 

Expect lively Rasta vibes, energizing music, and two special awards presented after the race during a short closing program.

Event Details

The Abrazo 5K Walk & 10K Run takes participants along the scenic San Ysidro–Tijuana border. This year, we’re excited to bring back the Beer Garden — celebrate after the run with a refreshing drink! Beer access is included with your food and drink bracelet.

Casa Familiar celebrates a major milestone: 20 years of dedicated arts and culture space in San Ysidro through The Front Arte y Cultura. As an organization, community, and people, we have always centered arte y cultura in our work and in how we uplift community voice. This long‑standing foundation inspires our Abrazo 2027 theme: Roots Run Deep—a celebration of where we come from and the future we are growing together.

Nearly two decades ago, Casa invested in a space that advances local artists, supports neighborhood design, and expands creative opportunities for residents. Since opening in 2007, The Front has grown into a place where belonging takes shape. It has provided room for artists and for the small local art economies that allow creativity to grow. Emerging artists who had limited opportunities to display their work in other San Diego galleries found a welcoming platform at The Front, and many are now recognized as established and thriving creators.

This year’s Abrazo will directly benefit our Arts & Culture Programming, allowing us to continue supporting local artists and expanding a workforce development program that provides youth with technical training. We honor 20 years of creativity and belonging, and we invite you to help us continue strengthening spaces where arte and cultura flourish.
