4. We will start sending out the medals the end of May.

Please NOTE: We have 500 unique, up-cycled Finisher Medals that were purchased following fair trade principles. These medals were created by a Haitian artist who uses scrap metal and are made entirely by hand. To receive a medal, be one of the first 500 paid registrants or Fundraisers who have successfully raised a minimum of $100 in donations.

The following are our 2020 Partner Causes:

• ActionMarguerite: Green Growers
• Hand in Hand with Haiti: a project of EMAS Canada
• Manitoba Branch of the Canadian Hemophilia Society
• RCMDB: Research Centre for MBs who are Deaf & Blind
• REACH: Research, Education & Awareness for Children with Hirschsprung Disease
• Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert

Our Causes need help more than ever, so if you’re able, consider being a Fundraiser.
FUNDRAISERS register for FREE and need to raise $100 minimum by May 18, 2020. Contact run4yourcause@gmail.com if you need a Donation Summary Sheet.

OR there is the Regular registration process for $15 (MRA members can claim a $5 discount) plus a minimum donation of $15 to support a partnering Cause for a total of $30 (all taxes, processing and admin fees included).
Race Roster will send your donation directly to the Cause and email you an income tax receipt immediately (if they are a registered charity).

 AND we have added a 3^rd way to register.  For a lot of people finances are tough right now, if that’s you, register as a SUPPORTER. This is a Medal-less option, which is not included in RUN 150: it’s FREE to register with no minimum donation required.

Online Registration NOW OPEN!
For Manual Registration contact: run4yourcause@gmail.com

I hope you choose to register with Virtual R4YC 2020.  It is a very challenging time, but this is something WE ARE ALLOWED TO DO and our Causes could all use your support.

Let’s engage in Social Solidarity while practicing Physical Distancing!
