Running is My High

Native American Health Center (NAHC) is excited to announce our 23rd Running Is My High (RIMH) event on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the Fairy Land area of Lake Merritt; 699 Bellevue Ave., Oakland, CA 94610. The theme for this year's event will be "Run This Town!" as NAHC celebrates its growing presence in the City of Oakland, highlighted by the groundbreaking of its newest site, to be located in the Fruitvale District at 3050 International Blvd.  NAHC's new site is scheduled to open in December 2025 and will feature 20 Dental Operatories, a 300-person Community Cultural Center, and -- in partnership with Satellite Affordable Housing Associates, 76 Affordable Housing Units.

NAHC created Running is My High to engage our community members from all walks of life in an event promoting physical, mental, and cultural health. Annually, our 5K/10K draws over 500 runners and walkers from across the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. This special event will feature programming that honors Community Health and Native American cultural practices; includes guest speakers; and features outreach tables to connect our community to helpful resources.

Online registration closes on June 7th and costs $25 for adults and $5 for youth, in-person registration on the day of the event (6/8) is $30 for adults and $10 for youth. 

We will see you at the starting line!!!
