We are vegan and vegetarians (although everyone is welcome to attend events) who are active and enjoy being outside and who want to compete and have fun while promoting animal rights.

We are based out of San Diego, CA but have club team members in numerous states …

The purpose of our MeetUp group is to facilitate building unforgettable relationships and sharing remarkable experiences.

Some of us are vegans and others may simply be committed to a vegan diet. Spread the word:  http://meetup.com/sandiegovegans
