About this run
The Fiesta Walk/Run is a community event organized by the City of Reedley Community Services Department and the Reedley Parkway Committee. This event serves as a fundraiser to support improvements and amenities for the Reedley Parkway, such as new picnic tables, signage, artwork, and kiosk upgrades. Funds will also go towards equipment and supplies for volunteers who help maintain the parkway.
