Another monthly Community Run with @patagoniacardiff and @coastal.runclub in the books! Nothing better than a morning run with friends and family, and fresh pancakes at the finish line. Thanks so much to everyone who came out this past weekend for some fresh air and morning miles. And shoutout to RPL ambassador @run.club.rich for capturing the energy and repping RPL! 🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼.

We loved seeing peoples’ answers to our questions back during our 5 Year Anniversary event at @topatopabrewingco on Earth Day 2024. We asked four questions: How does running chance you? What do you run for? Where does running take you? And who do you run for? 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼.

We’re excited to be bringing this interactive experience to @therunningevent this year, sharing in and with our community and industry of runners, outdoor adventurers, and those advocating for the lands we love. 🌱🏔️🌎.

If you’re going to TRE, make sure to stop by our booth to say hi! Whatever you do, run with heart in mind. 💚💚💚.

We’re thinking back to the 3 days that @kathontherun spent in D.C. in September with @outdooralliance and the Grasstops Collective. It was a sprint of meetings, but as trail and road runners, we do know a thing or two about endurance. About putting on the shoes, about getting out the door, and about showing up, day in and out, for each other and ourselves, especially when it gets hard. We’re grateful to be giving runners a voice on the national level, advocating for the lands we love and the people we love to run with. 🌱🌎🗺️👟💚.

As we climbed these stairs each day, and many other stairs, we had our training to thank. To join us in building our strength to run these hills, consider sending a letter to your lawmaker in support of passing the EXPLORE Act as part of an end-of-year legislative package and learn more about some other vetted land protections that may be able to be passed as well. 🙌🏿🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏼
