RUN. LOVE. PROTECT. RESTORE.

PLANET, THANKS FOR SAVING US. LET’S GIVE BACK TO THE PLACES WE RUN WILD. 

Runners for Public Lands is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that mobilizes runner participation in conservation work and environmental causes. RPL is based in Ventura, California.

Runners and environmentalists are natural allies. Both know that the quality of our lives depends on the quality of the places we live, work, and play. As the largest recreational group in the United States, runners are also powerful allies. We believe environmental issues (such as clean air, water, and energy, and carbon emissions, global warming, and habitat and biodiversity loss) call runners to join the conversation and take action for the sake of people and planet.
