ONE MOTHER OF A RUN is powered by moms, families, kids, neighbors, and local businesses who believe in neighbors supporting neighbors, kids cheering on runners, and local businesses showing their aloha for the next generation.
ONE MOTHER OF A RUN is more than a race — it’s a celebration of community, family, and optimism.
100% of proceeds support the Lodi Optimist Club, funding youth sports, activities, and programs that help kids thrive.
Sponsoring is a way to:
- Show kids what community support looks like
- Help youth programs thrive
- Honor loved ones, teams, or memories
- Give back to the town we love
You don’t need a business to be a sponsor — families, teams, and groups are welcome and encouraged.
We offer a variety of sponsorship levels to fit your budget and goals with opportunities to showcase your team, family, organization or business on-site during the event.

The Lodi Optimist's ONE MOTHER OF A RUN is a beloved Lodi tradition that brings families, runners, and local businesses together in support of our kids. This year’s theme is Aloha Spirit & Community, celebrating connection, encouragement, and showing up for one another — values that perfectly align with what makes Lodi special.
New for 2026:
Adopt‑A‑Mile! $200 (stand-alone sponsorship or add-on to one of the above levels)
Dedicate a mile of the race to someone special — a loved one, a team, a cause, or a memory. Your personalized sign will be placed along the course for every runner to see. A beautiful way to honor someone and support Lodi’s youth.
