Paul Austin’s Play Marin organization has long sought to offer Marin City youth the opportunity to participate in organized sports and extracurricular activities, a mission “to intentionally give kids of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to learn and grow together through play.”
In 2021, Play Marin launched its first annual Walk-A-Thon, an approximately 5.5-mile, round trip walk from Rocky Graham Park in Marin City to the Mill Valley Middle School and back. The goal for the event was straightforward, as Austin saw it: support diversity, inclusion, and community empowerment in Marin; raise awareness; bring together our Marin County community; have fun and raise funds for the organization’s programs in the process.
The debut was a resounding success, and they’re hosting the 4th annual edition of the Walk-a-Thon on Saturday, Nov. 9th along the same path.

Play Marin provides sports and other extracurricular activities to intentionally give kids of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to learn and grow together through play. “We’re committed to spreading the word about who we are and what we do by doing what we do best – play!” Austin says.
