Running for a Better Oakland (RBO) (www.rboakland.org) is a not-for-profit organization that encourages K–12th grade students in Oakland and the surrounding cities to develop healthy lifestyles through running. RBO strives to give students the values for achievement and hard work that they can draw on for all areas of their lives.

5% of every dollar spent in the Run Local universe, from event registrations to apparel purchases and membership commitments, is given to partner organizations making a positive impact on our local communities. You are encouraged to match or exceed this contribution whenever and wherever you interact with us.
