Racing for our Friends Down Under 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 Race Description

Australia continues to be in the grips of a nationwide bushfire emergency and we want to help.  More than 50 fires are still burning.  People, and animals, are losing their homes and their lives.  At least 33 people have been killed, including four firefighters, and millions have animals have been killed.  It’s devastating!  We’ve created the Racing for our Friends Down Under 1M 5K 10K 13.1 26.2 to help raise funds for both the people and animals of Australia.  We’ve created these unique wooden medals that are in the shape of the country of Australia and feature some of its beautiful wildlife.  The medals have just been designed and will take 6 to 8 weeks to be produced and delivered to us.  We will ship them out to you as soon as we get them.  We are hoping to start shipping them out no later than mid-April, but hopefully sooner than that.  You can complete our race before you get your medal and bib if you want to.

The majority of proceeds will be donated to two charities. We will be donating 15% of each registration to GIVIT, an amazing organization in Australia that is helping provide the essential items needed to assist bushfire-affected communities in rebuilding their lives.   We will also be giving another 15% of each registration to the World Wildlife Fund,  who is helping with the bushfire emergency by helping to save wildlife and to restore the lost forests once the fires have cleared.

*For a limited time you can purchase an official t-shirt and/or hoodie HERE!    (these are sold on another site, through Threadless.com so none of our promo codes apply to these).
 
What:  This is a virtual race. You choose to complete 1 Mile, 5K, 10K, 13.1 or 26.2. You complete your race on your own and submit your time to us.  Then we ship your medal directly to you.
 
When: Complete your race anytime in 2020.  
 
*Medals and bibs will ship out within 2 to 5 days of signing up.
 
Where:  You choose the course and you time yourself (you’ll report your finishing time to us).
 
Why:  To show our love for our friends down under. 
 
COST:  $22, which includes your medal, bib and shipping.  Plus, at least 15% of every entry will be donated to GIVIT and another 15% of each entry will go to the World Wildlife Fund.    *We are in no way affiliated with this charity, we like to choose a different charity for each of our races and are happy to raise funds for them.
