What Exactly is a Fun Run?
A Fun Run is a non-competitive running event to celebrate and raise funds for a charitable cause. Participants can typically run, jog, walk or roll in these fundraising events designed to have fun first and raise funds for schools or nonprofit organizations. A Fun Run is a great choice to bring your community together, raise awareness for your organization, provide healthy entertainment, as well as raising money for your cause with p2p crowdfunding. Fun Runs are often 5Ks, but can be of any length, especially for kid’s runs.
Organizing your Charity Fun Run
Your school or organization can join in one of the biggest sensations in fundraising today by hosting a Fun Run. The success of your Fun Run hinges on the recruitment and action of a strong leadership team. Ideally, your team should be comprised of individuals with diverse skills and talents that share a common interest in the organization’s success and have time to dedicate to the task at hand. In addition, working smart at this stage of the game requires delegation.
Here are the basic steps and considerations in getting your Fun Run started on the road to success:
- Create your Fun Run planning committee of people dedicated to the event and organization’s mission
- Committee members choose the best time of year and pick a date and theme for the crowdfunding event
- Create your Fun Run fundraising website
- Recruit runners, volunteers, and sponsors
- Import your runners (for schools), or ask them to register online to create their personal Fun Run fundraising pages
- Solicit size for free t-shirt or other runner incentives, upon registration
- Participants ask supporters to donate or pledge in support of their efforts
- Participation and fundraising progress is tracked throughout the event with our crowdfunding software
- Leaderboards are posted with top fundraisers and teams to motivate Fun Run participants
- Registration reporting makes race day check-in easy
- Administrators wrap up the event by calculating pledges and off-line donations
