What are your options for teams and how do they work?

By | General | No Comments
Teams offer a powerful way for individuals to join together and raise funds collaboratively. We have three different types of teams.
1. Charity Challenge Fundraising Team
Participants can join an existing Charity Challenge Fundraising Team or create their own during registration. Charity Challenge Fundraising Teams can have any number of participants, and fundraise for one, or multiple, of our charity partners. Charity teams are a great way to support the charity of your choice as you complete your race!
2. General Team
Participants can join an existing General Team or create their own during registration. General Teams can have any number of participants.
3. Corporate Challenge Team
New this year we ahve Corporate Challenge Teams. These teams will have a minimum of 6 participants, they can participate in any of our three race distances, and can choose to fundraise for one, or multiple, of our charity partners. By forming a Corporate Challenge Team, your company will also receive exclusive perks such as a registration discount, group race kit pickup, company specific race bibs, and more. To get more information and to create one of these teams, please reach out to crswest@canadarunningseries.com

What does the registration fee go towards in a virtual event?

By | General | No Comments

The cost of the registration fee supports the staging of the event, including, but not limited to, the souvenir shirt, finisher medal, personalized bib, food and beverages before, during, and after the event, an official time run on a measured, certified, and secure course, a post-race experience, and more.

The fuller explanation is that we (Canada Running Series) take on all the responsibility and all the risk of the event. If at the end day when everything is paid for, there is a profit, that modest profit goes to CRS. And if there is a loss, that falls on us too. This way, our charities have a wonderful run experience for their community without the work, liability and risk. And this enables them to devote 100% of their time to fundraising, receive 100% of all donations, and have no fear of loss. We do not charge the charities a penny for providing the event and the fundraising opportunity.
