Register On Raceday!!!


The Habitat for Humanity Home Run is an annual 5K/10K run/walk held on Stanford campus. The race benefits Habitat for Humanity and Global Partners for Development. Our local Habitat for Humanity Chapters - Peninsula Habitat for Humanity and Silicon Valley Habitat for Humanity - aim to end poverty housing on the Peninsula and in the South Bay by working together with low-income families to build communities of quality, affordable, ownership homes. Similarly, Global Partners for Development in partnership with local communities in Eastern Africa strives to end poverty and hunger through various projects that include development of clean water sources, childrens nutrition, health care, primary and vocational education, and womenÕs economic self-reliance.

This race is a great way to support a worthwhile cause as well as catch a glimpse of the beautiful Stanford campus in the autumn. This year, both events will start outside the Stanford Stadium and end in Pac-10 Plaza, adjacent to the Sunken Diamond baseball field.Ê The 5K course follows Campus Drive, Serra Street, and El Camino. The 10K course circles the entirety of Campus Drive. All runners will receive a Home Run 2008 T-shirt and Goodie Bag, and are invited to enjoy post-race snacks and celebration.
