WHAT WILL I DO?

 

The Promise Race is a mission-focused experience, where runners choose how many cycles (or laps) they will run. Each cycle is .8 miles, and most runners will run three to five laps, while some may choose up to ten! Each cycle comes with a couple of disruption zones. These zones offer simple and fun obstacles, which mimic an all-too-real and (sadly) tragic pattern in foster care, where placements are disrupted, and children experience more broken bonds. The goal is HOME! You finish the race by heading into our "Home Zone," where you will find food and entertainment!

WHO SHOULD JOIN?

 

The race is for all sorts of FAMilies - whether it's the FAMily you live with, your work FAM, or even your book club! FAMily is the key to disrupting the cycle of foster care – so bring your people! Children, strollers, and wheelchairs are welcome, as we will be on paved roads. And yes, if you want to run fast and sweat hard, you can do that too!

HOW DOES THE $ WORK?

 

It’s all about FAM teams! You can create a team as a FAMily Leader (team captain) or join an existing team to raise support for Promise686 among your friends and family!

 

Each FAMily Leader (team captain) agrees to raise or give a minimum of $1,200. This could be a group of up to ten people or just one person! The FAMily Leader will be responsible for however much of the $1,200 has not been raised by his/her team on April 26, the day of the race.

 

Each racer is encouraged to raise as much as possible TO END THE CYCLE! Promise will provide you with links, messaging, and everything you and your FAM need to raise money!
