Have Fun and Do Good - Join CALICO at the Oakland Running Festival

We are so thrilled to announce that CALICO will be one of the official Run for the Cause charities in the Oakland Running Festival for the 11th year in a row. This fun filled event will take place on Sunday, March 22, 2020 and we are welcoming everyone to join Team CALICO! You can to run or walk the 5k, run a half marathon, full marathon, marathon relay, or participate in the We Run the Town Challenge which is a half marathon and 5k combined.

When you sign up to run for Team CALICO, you will get an official CALICO t-shirt, snacks, and team comradery. Most importantly, though, you will be helping raise money to provide vital services for hundreds of abused children and their families in Alameda County.

If you are interested in joining Team CALICO in March, please click here to sign up or email run@calicocenter.org. All you will need to do is fill out an online registration form, which will register you as an official Team CALICO runner. Please share this information with others who might be interested.

If starting the day with an early morning run or walk isn’t your cup of tea, there are a few other ways you can help Team CALICO! We are currently looking for sponsors and volunteers for this event. Please email info@calicocenter.org for more information about volunteering or a sponsorship.
