2021 Race for Open Space
April 4, 2021 - April 25, 2021
Trail Run/Walk
April 4 – 25, 2021
Thanks to all Race for Open Space participants, supporters, sponsors, and partners!
Everyone who participated, supported, and volunteered at this year’s Race for Open Space (ROS) was a force for nature! 450 people ran, walked, and hiked safely and socially distanced at Glen Deven Ranch, Mitteldorf Preserve, in their own neighborhoods, or on our special Adventure Courses! Many supporters donated as well. All of these stellar humans found their wonder and raised $25,000 for the lands they love! Plus, our generous sponsors contributed $21,000.
But wait! There’s more…Thanks to the thirsty folks who purchased some yummy Hoppy Hiker Hazy IPA, Alvarado Street Brewery raised an additional $10,000 for healthy lands, healthy people, and healthy communities. This makes everyone a winner!
And we know you really want to hear who the winners in each of our Race for Open Space categories are:
