Matcha for Miles

Event Info

Spring energy. Good movement. Matcha magic. This is your feel-good run to start the season right. Matcha for Miles is our newest wellness event— a blend of community-powered energy and feel-good miles. Think: your favorite Saturday morning routine, but leveled up with DJ beats, friends, and a whole community moving together. Whether you’re an elite runner, not-so-elite runner, stroller-pushing hero, or maybe you're in need of a hot-girl walk (yes diva!)… this morning is for you! Happening two weeks before the California Classic Half Marathon, it’s the perfect shakeout for your race— or a chance to simply show up for yourself and feel good while we dive into spring. Bring your people. Bring your energy. Bring your matcha sweet-tooth. Spring is in the air, and there’s no better time to celebrate wellness, movement, and community— one mile (and matcha) at a time. Let’s run, walk, vibe, and sip!

Why We Run

At the heart of every California Classic Events race is California Cares — our nonprofit dedicated to uplifting the Central Valley through health, movement, and meaningful community support. Matcha for Miles isn’t just about logging miles. It’s about giving back, showing up for one another, and turning a wellness-focused morning into something that ripples far beyond race day. Your registration directly supports California Cares initiatives, helping provide resources for active, healthy lifestyles, community programs, and local partnerships.
