More about Mountain Runners and Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance
In 2018, Mountain Runners became one of the founding projects in creating Siskiyou Outdoor Recreation Alliance, formed with the aim of gathering together the larger community of outdoor recreation nonprofit organizations and initiatives throughout far Northern California. SORA hopes to serve to amplify the voice of outdoor recreation interests within the region, and support partnerships, policy, and planning related to outdoor recreation and community vitality. Through combining forces with other area groups and consolidating financial and administrative resources, our goal is to reduce the burden on smaller nonprofits, resulting in more sustainable programs, events, and organization.
