Run for Others: Make a Difference

Every year we aim to provide 5,000 stipends, scholarships, or just free entries (with Shirt & Medal) to those who aren’t able to pay for a registration ticket themselves. We believe every person should have the opportunity to part of a fun, community run. 

This includes at risk youth, orphans, or the marginalized. 

If you’re an organization or Non-Profit wanting to apply for stipend/scholarships, feel free to contact us for more information at [email protected].
