Partner with the race Oakland shows up for.
Sponsorship covers the costs that make race day possible — permits, insurance, timing, medals, printing — so more of every registration and donation reaches Oakland's first responders and RBARI.
Sponsors confirmed by June 7, 2027 will be included on the race-day sponsor board.
