About the We Run Oakland: For Our Children 2027
This Oakland event is built around a cause: raising awareness of human trafficking and supporting local organizations working to address it. The run and walk are open to all paces, and a virtual option lets people participate from wherever they are, logging their activity and submitting results to the shared board.
The in-person course location is still being determined, so check back closer to race day. The virtual option has a generous submission window after the event date, making it accessible for those who cannot be there in person but still want to show up for the effort.
