Reach Foundation Shamrock 'n Run
About this race
The REACH Foundation’s favorite tradition continues! The Shamrock ’n Run 5K & 2K is once again bringing the Placentia-Yorba Linda community together for a festive, fun-filled day in support of our students.
Since 2012, thousands of families have participated in this beloved community event—running, walking, and celebrating together—while helping raise critical funds that directly support enrichment programs and events for PYLUSD students. It’s more than a race; it’s a celebration of community, school spirit, and giving back.
