● lunch for 4 at our post race BBQ
● one commemorative t-shirt-made specifically for our fundraisers

Remember this fundraising option will close on December 31, 2020. For more info contact Race Director, Mike 

Option two: commit to raise a minimum $500 before September 7, 2021 at noon ET, you can avoid our race open registration rush on May 25th and will be entered into the race by the Race Director. 
Your $500 must be received by Sept. 7, 2021 or you will not be able to race with us on the last Sunday of September.
