The Race Against Extinction is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a mission to generate greater awareness of the need to protect our planet's endangered plants and animals, raise money for the habitat preservation funds of established international conservation groups, and - perhaps most importantly - have FUN!

We encourage all types of athletes and non-athletes to participate. If you have never run a timed race before, here is your chance. If you think that you are fast you have a great chance at winning one of our coveted lost, found and recycled Hub Cap trophies by placing first in one of our many categories.

We look forward to seeing you Saturday, April 22nd on the Charles! There is limited space so please hurry and register as soon as you can so that you do not miss out on all of the fun!
