To join our team, participants must raise a minimum amount of funds, based on their chosen race type. Please note that the $50 non-refundable registration fee is separate and does not count toward your fundraising total.
To help you reach your goal, we offer a personal fundraising page, where you can track donations and monitor your progress. All donations must be submitted to Humane World for Animals by the following deadlines to be credited toward your fundraising target:
- July 1, 2025 - 10% of your fundraising goal

- December 1, 2025 - 75% of your fundraising goal
- January 11, 2026 - 100% of your fundraising goal
If these targets are not met by the specified dates, we will ask that you secure your race registration and team spot with a credit card or check, agreeing to make up the difference between the amount raised and the minimum required.
