RUN FOR A REASON
For some, it’s not enough to run 13.1 miles for themselves. That’s why the organizers of the Door County Half Marathon introduced the Run For A Cause program in 2010 – to give runners a little more motivation with each training stride.
Since 2010, when the program was started, it has helped dozens of runners raise more than $225,000 for Door County charities. Runners can help build on that total by signing up to run for their favorite Door County charity now.
Organizers have made 100 registrations available free to runners who commit to raising at least $250 for an area charity. Once runners in the half marathon or the 5k raise the $250 minimum, they’ll receive a free entry for the Door County Half Marathon or the Nicolet Bay 5k.
Participants are, of course, encouraged to raise more than the minimum.
All information regarding the program, online fundraising, and a traditional pledge sheet are available by emailing Registration Director Jordan Burress at jordan@peninsulapacers.com.
Make your run more meaningful and join the ranks of those pounding the pavement in support of the charities that are so vital to making Door County a great place to live.
