Charity bibs and fundraising

Charity bib entries waive the registration fee when a fundraising commitment is met. The featured charity partner is Friends of Arches and Canyonlands Parks, and entrants may also select a different charity. Fundraising minimums for charity bibs are: $1000 for the 50 Mile, $750 for the 50K, and $500 for the Half Marathon. Once an entrant reaches 50% of the fundraising minimum, a registration code for free entry is issued. Charity bibs are limited, and entrants who do not meet their minimum may be required to pay the fundraising difference before the event. After the race, a percentage of charity bib funds is donated to the chosen organization and the remainder supports local communities.
