ORGANIZATION: Running for a Better Oakland

Student Runners

Running for a Better Oakland is an organization that trains Oakland youth to run either a 5k or Half marathon. We have a Fall and Spring season and all training is done at Lake Merritt.

We are looking at expanding our reach to other Bay Area cities. We are needing a head volunteer that would like to start an RBO in their community using the blueprint that we have designed over the years. You would be a part of the RBO Family and we would assist with everything needed to support your charter.

Are you a runner? Love working with Kids? Have the ability to have practices on Saturday mornings for the Fall and Spring training sessions? Then we would love to talk with you!
