Charity Partners

The Charity Partner program is a way to further support our mission to promote fitness and health, and to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. A portion of the event proceeds goes towards each of these non-profit charities.
Race participants are given the opportunity to contribute to the Charity Partners at the time of event registration, further increasing the charitable contributions.
Anyone can make a donation to the charity partners at any time.  You do not need to register to make a donation.


Designated Charity Partners for 2026 are:

   - Ainsley’s Angels in the Triad
   - Community Care Center of Forsyth County

Ainsley’s Angels in the Triad, part of the Ainsley’s Angels of America family, believes in fitness, health, quality of life, and inclusion for all. Our mission is to ensure everyone has access to endurance events and active lifestyles through Inclusion Without Limits. We exist to remove barriers to participation so individuals with disabilities and their families can experience the physical, emotional, and social benefits of movement alongside their community.
