Join the Oakland Nature Preserve for its second virtual run. Participants in the Gopher Tortoise Run 3-Miler for Conservation can run, walk, paddle, stroll or swim — anything that keeps them moving forward.

The three miles must be completed before Jan. 31, and participants can put in their miles at the preserve. They are invited to post a fun photo on the ONP Facebook page once they have “run” their race. Medals are limited to 75 people; folks who don’t want the medal can register at a discounted rate.
