This Earth Day (technically a few days after) we're hitting the trails with intention - to celebrate the land that sustains us and to deepen our relationship with it through care and preparedness. Join us for a community run (with hike option) where we'll not only move in gratitude for the earth, but also prepare first aid kits together and share trail safety/emergency tips.

Because loving the land means taking care of ourselves and each other out there.

Come run/hike, learn, connect — and leave a little more ready for whatever the trail brings.

Materials for first aid kits provided (donations welcome!) - make a kit for your trail vest, car, camping gear, etc.

BYOB Bring your own bag to make your kit!

Is "Planet Parade" a technical term? No. Aren't the planets always in alignment? Yes! So what is a Planet Parade Run/Walk? We want to celebrate this rare event where we will be able to see four planets! Venus, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars will all be visible in the evening sky—Uranus and Neptune are there too, but a telescope is needed to see them.

Join us for a 4 mile out and back run/walk from Inspiration Point to Wildcat Peak.

What to bring:
- Layers (we're in the Bay, microclimates are real)
- Water
- Headlamp
- Curiosity for the evening sky

Not necessary to bring, but it might be more fun if you do:
- Star/planet themed outfit
- Download the SkyView app, this can help you identify the planets (there is a free version)
- Celestial themed snacks
- Dogs are welcome!

We will be meeting at the Emeryville Shellmound and run to the West Berkeley Shellmound via the Bay Trail (mostly) to join Sogorea Te' Land Trust, who is hosting the walk, and other community members in support of indigenous communities whose land we are on and who continue to care for this land.

DETAILS
- Meet at 9:00am for a casual run (9:30-10:00 minute pace).
- The run will be just over 3 miles
- Shellmound walk begins at 10:00 am. You may want to bring a small pack with you for pants, sweater, light jacket, water for our walk from the West Berkeley Shellmound back to the Emeryville Shellmound. This will be a 3 mile walk. Total mileage is 6 miles (run + walk).
- THE RUN IS NOT PART OF THE PRAYER WALK. This is our way to engage runners in learning about the Shellmounds, the land we run on, and join the walk in solidarity.
- Please reach out if you have any questions. Thank you.
