Vibha Bay Area Dream Mile 2023

Vibha's annual Dream Mile 5K Walk / 5K Run / 10K / Half is back in San Jose on the Sunday, June 4th!

What is Dream Mile?

The first Dream Mile was organized by Vibha volunteers in Atlanta in October 1998. The Dream Mile is a Run / Walk Fundraiser event organized by Vibha, with the anticipated participation of 1,000 patrons from across the greater San Francisco Bay Area.  The Dream Mile has become a permanent fixture on the calendars of runners in various cities across America. To date, the Dream Mile has raised more than $3M to support upwards of 180,000 children.

Who is it for?

The Dream Mile is for anyone who would like to walk or run a few miles to help realize the dreams of millions of underprivileged children.
