We Run Oakland: For Our Children 2027
We Run Oakland: For Our Children is the 10th annual charity 5K walk/run organized by DO & A Sista's Touch in Oakland, California, held on September 18, 2027. The specific race location and route are to be determined. The event aims to raise awareness about human trafficking and to support local nonprofit efforts and AST programming focused on affected communities and children.
The series emphasizes civic engagement, community partnerships, and bridging gaps between community resources and self-care while highlighting the impact of human trafficking in the Oakland/Bay Area African-American community. Organizers have stated goals to increase engagement by at least 10 percent and to surpass 275 registrations for the year.
Participation options include in-person 5K categories by age and a virtual 5K option. Paid registration options offer varying swag packages while supplies last, including medals, T-shirts, and swag bags; the virtual package notes that shipping is included and packages will be mailed after the event. Free participation options are available without swag, and a free child registration is offered for a child participating with a paid registrant. Registration opens September 1, 2026, with closing dates that vary by registration option.
The virtual option allows participants to choose location and mode of activity (for example indoor treadmill, neighborhood route, or bicycle), and participants can submit results for a results board. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
