Before you start
How the Fun Run Works
Register
A parent signs their student up for the run, and can set a personal fundraising goal to aim at.
Share
Every runner gets their own page. Share the link with family, friends, and neighbors so they can pledge.
Run
On event day the students run as many laps as they can, and volunteers count every lap at the track.
Sponsors Are Charged
Flat gifts are charged when they're made. Per-lap pledges are charged after the run, based on laps completed — and never more than the maximum the sponsor was shown.
What Your Student Can Earn
Prizes are earned by total dollars raised — not by finishing first, and not by running the most laps. Some are earned by each student, some by the whole class together, and the biggest by the whole school.
Your runner earns

Then keep going — every $100 earns a raffle ticket
There's no cap. Raise $500 and your student earns five tickets. On Celebration Day the raffle prizes — gift cards, tickets and baskets donated by local businesses, with more still coming in — are set out with a jar beside each, and students drop their tickets into whichever they want to win: all in one for the best odds at a single prize, or spread across several.
