Every RBO runner has their own story — their own race. This fall, we're gathering the community that makes those stories possible for an evening of connection, inspiration, and support for Oakland's youth runners.

Hear from four accomplished athletes and leaders who know what it means to go the extra mile: Magda Boulet, 2008 U.S. Olympic Marathoner and GU Energy Labs President; Alysia Montaño, 3x World Champion and entrepreneur; Cal Calamia, non-binary runner, sports activist, and educator; and Zagdaa Baatar, founder of the Nomadic Adventure Club and 2023 Western States finisher.

We'll also be hosting a raffle throughout the evening, with prizes including race entries, local experiences, and more.

Your support helps send more Oakland K-12 students to the starting line — funding free coaching, running shoes, race entries, and mentorship.

Every Ticket Includes:

Event entry
Refreshments, including heavy hors d'oeuvres
Our featured guest speaker program
Hearing from RBO students on the impact the program has had on their lives
And more!

You can still be part of Run Your Own Race. A gift of any size helps send more Oakland K-12 students to the starting line — funding free coaching, running shoes, race entries, and mentorship.
