The BIPOC Outdoors Summit 5K, led by OEP in collaboration with Lance Woods, co-founder of WeRun313, is a signature event that promotes inclusivity, wellness, and outdoor engagement within the NMU community and beyond.

This rest retreat is for communities that are underrepresented in environmental justice professionals and community leaders at risk of burnout from combating racial and climate injustice. This three-day retreat will offer several optional low to medium-intensity activities for attendees to choose from each day. Together, attendees will spend time connecting with the outdoors, themselves, and each other.
