- Sign our CIF Running Waiver & Fundraising Agreement. You’ll receive this once you sign up.
- Set up your fundraising page! It’s connected to the TeamCIF page and will make asking for those generous donations a breeze. You’re signing up to raise $2,500!
- Dive into the world of email and social media through templates created and provided to you to make fundraising as easy as possible!
- Make sure to meet your fundraising goal by October 31, 2027.
- If life throws a curveball (or a sore muscle), give us a shout! Let us know ASAP about any injuries or change of running plans.
Many of our fabulous runners have personal ties to the disability community or work in the disability support field. If that sounds like you, let us know! We give a special shoutout to these amazing folks when we pick our entries.
