This May, community members across the Central Coast are invited to step outside and turn their movement into meaningful impact. One Cool Earth and Central Coast State Parks Association are partnering to launch the May Move-a-thon, a month-long community challenge encouraging individuals and families to get outside, log miles, and raise funds that support outdoor education and environmental stewardship.
Participants can choose how they move. Walk, run, bike, swim, paddle or hike. Every step, stroke, pedal and paddle contributes toward raising funds that help connect local youth and families with nature-based learning opportunities and outdoor exploration.
The Move-a-thon invites people of all ages and abilities to set a personal goal for the month of May and track their miles along their favorite trails, beaches, parks and waterways. Each mile logged helps raise awareness and resources that support environmental education programs and stewardship efforts throughout the Central Coast.
Community members can sign up, set their goals, and start logging miles on May 1st by visiting: https://www.onecoolearth.org/2026-move-athon.html
Interested in Becoming a Business Sponsor? Local businesses and donors are also invited to participate by sponsoring per mile matching donations, helping multiply the impact of every mile traveled by participants. If interested, please email [email protected].
