Our Mission
The Up For Air Series unites our community over a shared passion for running and a desire to drive real, lasting change in the fight for cleaner air. Through endurance events and strategic partnerships, every vertical foot run and every hour volunteered multiplies support for nonprofits dedicated to air quality solutions, turning even small donations into greater impact. We tread lightly on the trails while standing firm in our commitment to a healthier planet and cleaner air for all. Working for clean air is an endurance sport.
Support RUFA
Every donation counts to a good cause. All money raised is donated to an action group local to the area associated with each unique RUFA event. All action groups have been carefully selected based on their successful influence strategies to improve air quality.

Presenting Sponsor
Patagonia has been a supporter of RUFA since its inception. In June 2024, Patagonia partnered with RUFA to produce the Global Day of RUFA which saw 231,000 people participate, either virtually or at 75+ locations across the globe. It would not be RUFA if we did not also acknowledge that 285 MILLION feet of vert were logged with these efforts, but more importantly, it demonstrates the level of care that runners around the globe have for improving air quality.
