You can run, walk, skip…… Why? The event is a true celebration of our community as it coincides with the first day of GiveRichmond’s 3rd Annual Amazing Raise, a 36-hour online giving challenge that has raised more than $1.8 million for local charities over the past two years. The race creates an opportunity for both individuals and teams to not only run for fun and personal wellness, but also campaign for their favorite nonprofit organizations and encourage philanthropy among their peers. This is a great way to show your support for Virginia Mentoring Partnership! **Registration fee does not go towards an Amazing Raise gift!
