Event Description

Horses can’t consent to race, but humans can consent to race or volunteer.
REGISTER TO RACE at dxe.io/vt
Dog fighting, dog racing, horse racing and all forms of animal gambling are cruel, exploitative and deadly. If you want Berkeley and Albany to reject animal gambling, come walk, run or wheel in this 5K Race to End Animal Gambling in Berkeley and Albany outside of Golden Gate Fields Animal Gambling Track on public property on Saturday, May 28th at 10am! Don’t care to race? Sign up to the volunteer team at dxe.io/vt!
Most progressive cities don’t accept animal gambling anymore but Berkeley and Albany are sadly lagging behind and still making money off animals killed for “sport” and residents suffering from gambling addiction. It’s time for change!
Free race shirts to first 100 racers / volunteers to check in. Sizes are first-come, first-serve.
