Cafecito Run
Spend your Sunday morning moving your body, meeting other chicas & supporting a small business <333
Join Chicas in the Bay for our first cafecito run!
We’re meeting at Kilovolt Coffee in Oakland on November 1 for a 3-mile walk/run, followed by cafecito and time to get to chat & mingle!!
Part of Chicas in the Bay’s mission is to make space for us to move our bodies, something we frequently forget to do while juggling work, family, and everything else.
Especially as we enter the holiday season, we want to give you a morning to show up for yourself, get some fresh air, and spend time with chicas who are also looking for community.
This is a safe space for new and experienced runners. ALL PACES WELCOME! Walk, jog, run, take breaks- whatever feels good for you. Everyone is welcome regardless of how fast or how far you’ve run before.
The morning plan
Arrive a few minutes before 9 am to find us and meet the chicas.
9 am: We’ll start with 10 minutes of stretching before heading out.
9:10 am: Our 3-mile walk/run begins!
Afterward: We’ll grab cafecito at Kilovolt Coffee. Stay, chat, and support a local small business con nosotras!
What to bring
Comfortable walking or running shoes
Water
A light layer for the morning
Your phone and any personal essentials
A payment method if you’d like to purchase cafecito or food afterward
A few questions you might have:
“I’ve never been to a run club. Can I still come?”
Yesssss! You don’t need experience or a certain pace to join us. This is a space to try something new and move at your own pace.
“Can I walk the whole route?”
Absolutely! This is a walk/run, and walkers are just as welcome. Three miles of walking is still three miles!
“What if I’m coming alone?”
Then we’re especially excited to meet you! So many of us are looking for amigas to do these things with.
“Is coffee included?”
Coffee and food are purchased separately. If you’re able, grab something from Kilovolt Coffee and help us show this small business some love <333
“Do I have to stay afterward?”
Stay for as long as you can! We’d love to chat over cafecito, but you’re welcome to head out after the walk/run.
“What if I can’t make it anymore?”
Please update your RSVP so we know who to expect. We appreciate you keeping us in the loop!
“What if it rains?”
Keep an eye out for updates on Instagram and your email! We'll send updates if the weather changes the plans!

Chicas in the Bay is a community for Latinas and first-gen in the Bay Area to make amigas, try new things, and figure life out juntas.
We host free community events (financial literacy & crafts workshops, runs, wellness mornings, and opportunities to give back)!
Being first-gen comes with a lot of firsts. Finding your community shouldn’t be something you have to navigate alone, too.
Soooo, if you’ve been wanting to get out more, learn about dinero, or have amigas to grab cafecito with…come join us <333
