The Race Against Extinction, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was formed in 2008 to help empower ordinary individuals to help preserve the natural world for future generations. From its humble beginnings as an Earth Day 5K race on the banks of the Charles River in Boston (consisting of eight participants) to its worldwide Earth Activity Relay Challenge of 2019, the Race Against Extinction team has helped raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and awareness for fellow conservation organizations through various events through the years.
The Race Against Extinction is run by volunteers, and since we have no overhead costs, our mission is simple.
We provide opportunities for ordinary individuals to help preserve the natural world by assisting established nonprofit conservation organizations. Since we are set up to raise funds for other nonprofits we act as sort of a ‘Switzerland” for other conservation groups and organize events which benefit them – and bring them together to promote a bit of healthy competition among them :-)
In the past we have organized multiple 5K races and all outdoor activity events including The Earth Activity Relay Challenge (EarthARC) to celebrate and help protect our planet. This year, our central project is the soon to be released "Bear Trek" movie fundraiser which will hi-light the need to take action to stem climate change and the loss of our planet’s biodiversity. It will also raise desperately needed funds for established conservation, climate activist and technology nonprofits involved in providing solutions to preserve the natural world for future generations.
