Running for a Better Oakland is thrilled to announce that we will be attending the Native American Health Center's 5K/10K around Lake Merritt on June 8th! RBO will provide students and run mentors with free race entries, a performance running shirt, healthy snacks, and an unwavering community of positive support.
The theme for this year's event will be "Run This Town!" as NAHC celebrates its growing presence in the City of Oakland, highlighted by the groundbreaking of its newest site, to be located in the Fruitvale District at 3050 International Blvd. NAHC's new site is scheduled to open in December 2025 and will feature 20 Dental Operatories, a 300-person Community Cultural Center, and -- in partnership with Satellite Affordable Housing Associates, 76 Affordable Housing Units.
Annually, this 5K/10K draws over 500 runners and walkers from across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. This special event will feature programming that honors Community Health and Native American cultural practices; includes guest speakers; and features outreach tables to connect our community to helpful resources.
