For the first time ever, we’ve partnered with Orca Running to offer a limited number of exclusive Charity Bibs for their upcoming races. 

Why this is special:

Charity bibs are limited—and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

How does it work?

• Choose your race Orca Running (you can run, walk, or participate at your own pace)
• Join our team on this page and create your own REI Cooperative Action Fund fundraising page
• Share your fundraising page with people you know
• Your family and friends donate to support you and the REI Fund

Charity Bib Participant Perks: 

• VIP Parking – Skip the stress and park with ease 

• Exclusive Goodie Bag – Curated just for charity participants 

• Charity Bib Tent Access – Your race-day home base 

• Gear Check at the Charity Bib Tent – Convenient and secure 

• Free Bib Mailing – No race-day pickup needed

Note: To receive a charity bib and unlock these exclusive perks, participants need to commit to raising a minimum of $1,000 in support of our mission. Charity bibs will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage folks to sign up early to secure a spot.

Orca Running provides exceptional running experiences for all abilities and paces; with operational policies that have a positive environmental impact and promote sustainability.
