Run for a Cause: Support Students with Team Eat. Learn. Play. during the Oakland Marathon

Eat. Learn. Play. hosting Kids Fun Run on Saturday, March 16 as part of the Oakland Marathon weekend

Here at Eat. Learn. Play., we’re already off and running this year to help Oakland students thrive—literally! As the new official charity beneficiary of the Oakland Marathon, we’re grateful and excited to be a part of this special event that brings 10,000+ runners, walkers, and movers together in action to support the local community. If one of your intentions this year is to be active and help make a difference, we hope you’ll consider joining Team Eat. Learn. Play. for the Oakland Marathon on Sunday, March 17th—and invite your family, friends, and colleagues to join in on the fun too! With 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon options, there’s something for everyone!

Proceeds from the Oakland Marathon will directly support Oakland students by giving them the resources they need to succeed, including access to nutritious meals, quality reading resources, and opportunities to play and be active. Additionally, 1,000 students will have the chance to participate in the Eat. Learn. Play. Kids Fun Run for free on Saturday, March 16th.  

This is just the start of many exciting and major moments we have in store for 2024. One of our goals this year is to transform 8 schoolyards into the greatest playspaces possible, equipped with multi-sport courts, kid-designed playgrounds, outdoor nature exploration areas, garden beds, and so much more.

We hope you’ll join Team Eat. Learn. Play. for the Oakland Marathon and otherwise stay involved by volunteering or donating to make the biggest impact on kids’ daily lives.
