About the Event

Oakland's streets become a living timeline at the Black Panther Party 60th Anniversary Freedom Run on February 28, 2026, where a symbolic 5K commemorates six decades of revolutionary activism during the centennial celebration of Black History Month. This transformative event transcends athletic tradition, reimagining the race as collective movement toward ongoing liberation while anchoring physical participation within a comprehensive community wellness festival at Raimondi Park. The morning run from 9:00-10:00 AM represents both historical reflection and future-facing action, directly connecting to afternoon health equity resources provided by local medical professionals, mental health specialists, and grassroots organizations.

With tiered, sliding-scale registration acknowledging economic diversity—from free participation for children under five to $15-$75 contribution options based on age and capacity—the event operationalizes the Panthers' commitment to accessible community care. This gathering demonstrates how commemorative acts can simultaneously honor past struggle, address present disparities, and nourish future well-being through intentional partnership between movement legacy and contemporary service providers.

About Oakland

Oakland is a port city in the Bay Area of California in the United States of America. Once an industrial area overshadowed by San Francisco, its larger neighbor to the west, this city of 440,000 people (2020) has begun to step out from under San Francisco's shadow with its notable natural and architectural features and its rise as the multicultural "hipster" city of the Bay Area.
