RUN LOCAL

AMBASSADORS

Run Local Ambassadors are friends, partners, fathers, mothers, co-workers, crew leaders and so much more. Most importantly though? They love running and their running community.

This team of individuals and run crews are concentrated around our events in the San Francisco Bay Area as well as Santa Barbara, but increasingly have stretched beyond California’s borders. Interested? Follow us @runlocalevents to start. Then be on the lookout for our application window traditionally taking place in the fall.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT…..drumroll please…We’d like to introduce the newest edition to the Run Local family! Starting this March, the Oakland Running Festival will be a Run Local event! And we have a distance for everyone, ranging from the Marathon & Kaiser Permanente Half Marathon to the 10K & The Total Dental Health Care 5K, and the Eat. Learn. Play. Kid’s run.

While we are STOKED to add this event to our running calendar, we have also decided to pause the San Jose 408K & Across the Bay 415K for 2023. We’ll be working to continue to support all of our Bay Area runners and look forward to bringing these events back in 2024!

There’s something magical about rocking finisher shirts from years past. It’s almost like a nod to yourself confirming “yes, I did that, and I’m still out here crushing it.”

The run community is strong. A huge congrats to everyone that crossed a finish line over the weekend.

✌️@toolegitfitness showed up strong in Sacramento and came through with so many finishers, some PRs, and some BQs.

You all shined on a day that was forecasted with rain.
