It is an inclusive, community-lead, non-corporate event. While the Run does not have an entry fee or minimum donation it is encouraged that all participants to fundraise or make a donation. You can raise funds online, use a pledge sheet or make a donation at the Run site. Whatever the choice, please know that every dollar counts!
