The Alliance's Riverside Ramble

The Alliance and 7000ft Running Company present The Riverside Ramble! The Riverside Ramble is an accessible fun run that celebrates survivors in the outdoor community and emphasizes the necessity for safety in all spaces. Sexual violence is prevalent in outdoor recreation and the outdoor industry. According to a 2018 survey by Outside Magazine, 70% of the 4,193 respondents had experienced harassment in the outdoors, with the most common forms being catcalling and being followed on foot, bike, or by car. We believe that outdoor activities should not be compromised by power and control dynamics.

The Ramble will start at the sculpture garden outside of the SteamPlant and finish downtown at The Office Bar. Participants can choose to run a 2-mile route around Sands Lake or a 5-mile route around Franz Lake. You can run or walk—whatever suits you best! The event starts at 11 am and will be followed by an after-party at The Office Bar. We'll have drinks and live music by Salida Sax Guy. All proceeds will benefit The Alliance. 

Let’s raise one for the hikers, runners, bikers, raft guides, climbers, skiers, tree huggers, and bird watchers. With your support, we can make our community a safe place for all.
