Run Sober, Run Safe is a community-focused event honoring the life and legacy of Officer Jacob Arellano, whose life was taken too soon by a wrong-way drunk driver. This event is dedicated to promoting sober driving, accountability, and community safety while bringing together runners, walkers, law enforcement, families, and community partners.

This race is designed to be both competitive and inclusive — honoring service, raising awareness, and working to prevent future tragedies
