is currently enjoying a renaissance and growing fast. There are few runs like the Aztec Run in the Bay Area. A truly festive, family-oriented event, we feature entertainment; unique team divisions for families, corporate groups, non-profits and open groups; and we are the only run that promotes fitness for our elected officials in the form of the annual Mayors Cup competition.
All proceeds from the Aztec Run go to support the educational programs of the Spanish Speaking Citizens Foundation, an Oakland-based non-profit established in 1965. The SSCF was founded to improve the lives of Latinos in the Oakland area and dedicated to the mission of empowering the community and the individuals of the community to improve their quality of lives while upholding their rich Latino culture.
Over the years, the SSCF has evolved into a true family resource center, providing a range of services to families and individuals in the community. The educational programs include, but are not limited to Youth After School programs, La Raza Youth Leadership programs, college information and prep sessions for high school students, college-scholarships for high school seniors, and the Citizenship Empowerment Program, assisting immigrants in obtaining U.S. citizenship and becoming active participants in the civic and political process.
