Event summary
Get ready for the 7th annual Indy Runners Charity XC Challenge on Monday, September 2nd, 2024 in Indianapolis, Marion. This exciting event has raised over $15,000 for deserving charities in the past 6 years, despite the challenges of Covid. This year's anchor charities include Back on My Feet, Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center, Joseph Maley Foundation, Girls on the Run, and Outrun the Sun for melanoma research in honor of Don Keller. Participants can join "Team Dono" to support melanoma research or create their own team to support a charity of their choice. Half of the entry fees go directly to the chosen charity, and participants race using age-graded percentages to level the playing field. Virtual participation is also available for those unable to attend in person. Pre-registration closes on September 3rd, but on-site registration is available on race morning. Join us at Brebeuf on Labor Day for a fun and meaningful event!
Organiser's Description
Our 7th year hosting our Charity XC Challenge!
We have been blessed to distribute over $15,000 to many deserving Charities in our first 6-years! (Even with the challenges of Covid recently.) Thank you all so much!
More construction at North Central this year, so we are pleased to be back to visit our friends at Brebeuf and their XC Course once again!
This year's ANCHOR CHARITIES include some favorites - Back on My Feet, Fay Biccard Glick Neighborhood Center, Joseph Maley Foundation, Girls on the Run...And of course, our Permanent Anchor Charity - Outrun the Sun for melanoma research in recognition of our dear friend, Don Keller. "Team Dono" is open to all who wish to honor Don's legacy by supporting further research into the disease which eventually took his life.
And as always, you can create your own Team and support a Charity of your choosing (we've had some great ones over the years). Recruit as many folks to join you as you can as Half of the entry fees on your Team go directly to that Charity, and then we Race for the other half - using our Age Graded Percent again this year which levels the playing field across both Age and Gender so we're all in the same division.
VIRTUAL: With our move to Labor Day, we realize several folks will have other fun plans that weekend and not necessarily make it back on Monday to join us in the Charity XC fun. If you would still like to support our causes, but can't make it On Site, please consider signing up Virtually and Donate whatever you feel comfortable with and we'll add it in the Pot for distribution to all the charities according to finish.
NOTE: Pre-Registration will Close at 6:00pm Sunday, September 3.
But ON SITE REGISTRATION is available on Race Morning. See you soon!
See you on Labor Day at Brebeuf!
