Human Race a party on the plaza

UKIAH, CA., 5/14/2017 — There were a lot of dogs at the twelfth annual Human Race on Saturday, May 6. The Human Race, inspired by a similar event in Sonoma County, is a fundraiser that takes place at Alex Thomas Plaza in Ukiah for various non-profits. Participants find sponsors, then walk or run five kilometers, or just over three miles, to raise money for the organization of their choice. North Coast Opportunities organizes the event and distributes 80% of the funds to the designated non-profits.

Nadine DeLapo, of NCO, has been involved in the event for all 12 years, though Tami Bartolomei, who is now the community services administrator for the City of Ukiah, started it.
