RUN. LOVE. PROTECT. RESTORE.
RUN WILD. HAVE FUN. GET INVOLVED AND GIVE BACK.
Climate destabilization and environmental degradation have put at risk a livable and runnable planet. RPL organizes runners for environmental justice, advocacy, and conservation. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Ventura, CA, passionate about equitable access to nature; climate, public lands, and green space advocacy; and hands-on conservation work.
