It’s easy to get involved!
  1. Start by registering for the event:  (REGISTER HERE)  You can choose a 5km, 10km, half marathon or do all three!
  2. After you register you will be invited to set up a fundraising page.
  3. Then while you're training to walk or run the distance of your choice, you share the event and your fundraising goal with your friends and ask them to support you with a small donation. We have training plans, fundraising ideas and a sample email to send your friends to make it super easy to be successful in reaching your fundraising goal and the finish line!

Our staff and volunteers are also ready to support you. And we have some great prizes for our fundraisers including team t-shirts, hats and more!
