Our Story

10 YEARS OF RUNNING TOGETHER

What started as a single charity run has grown into Alameda's premier running event series.

OutFront Endurance was founded with a simple belief: running events should do more than just provide a finish line. They should build community, support local causes, and create unforgettable experiences.

For a decade, we've been producing professionally-organized races across Alameda's most iconic venues. From the historic USS Hornet aircraft carrier to the scenic waterfront paths of Alameda Point, our courses showcase the best of the Bay Area.

Every event we produce supports local charities, including the Alameda Hospital Foundation and Midway Shelter. We're proud that our runners have helped raise over $50,000 for our community partners.
