Running for a Better Oakland Celebrates 25th Season

Running for a Better Oakland

Running for a Better Oakland (RBO), a non-profit organization that encourages K-12 Oakland students to develop healthy lifestyles through running, is starting its 25th season this month! RBO started in Spring 2010 and began hosting two seasons per year in 2014.

Thanks to the continued support of its partners and donors, RBO provides its services to students at no charge as well as free entries to local races. In addition, RBO provides scholarships and was able to distribute more than $20,000 to graduating seniors and RBO alumni in 2023.

To learn more about RBO visit RBOakland.org. They’re also running a “Celebrate 25 season with $25” fundraising campaign that you can support here.
