Organiser's Description

RUN TO HELP: A VIRTUAL FUNDRAISER FOR WASHINGTON FLOOD RELIEF

Join Orca Running for a meaningful virtual run to support our neighbors across Washington state who are facing the devastating impacts of historic flooding.

This month, Western Washington experienced catastrophic flooding that forced tens of thousands to evacuate their homes, with rivers reaching record levels across the state. Communities from Sumas to Mount Vernon, from Burlington to Snohomish have been deeply affected. Families have lost their homes, farms have been destroyed, and recovery efforts are expected to take months.

How It Works: Run or walk any distance, anywhere, at any time during the event period (December 14th through December 20th. Submit your total miles, whatever they may be, every step counts toward helping our fellow Washingtonians rebuild. You'll receive a link in your confirmation email for where to submit your miles.

We will donate $0.50 for every mile completed, up to a maximum of $3,000. In addition, 100% of your $10 entry fee will be donated to the three charity partners. Participants are also encouraged to make an additional optional donation during the registration process.

Where Your Support Goes: All proceeds will directly benefit individuals and families impacted by the December 2025 floods, helping with emergency shelter, home repairs, food assistance, and long-term recovery needs.
