Sponsorship

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.

Thank you to our sponsors graphic featuring logos for Superjuice Nation, Zuidema, JD's Deli & Grille, Bubbakoo's Burritos, and Krauszer's for the 2026 Heart of Gold 5K.
