How to Become a Charity Runner

Charity Runners are individuals who register to run the race and to raise funds on behalf of a charity.  There are two ways to become a Charity Runner.

Method 1:  Become a Charity Runner During the Registration Process - All registrants are given the opporutnity to become a charity runner when they register for the race. 

Method 2:  Manage Registration After Registering for the Race - You can become a charity runner by going to your Profile page, clicking on My Registered Races, and then selecting "Manage Registration". On the "Manage Registration" page, you can set up your fundraiser by going to the tab labeled "Fundraiser".

Please note that donations that were made before your fundraising page was set up can be transferred to an individual fundraiser after the fact.  Email the race director at beattheheat@twincitytc.org if this need occurs.
