How Much of the Registration Fee is Donated to Feeding America?  A minimum of 25% of the registration proceeds plus 100% of online donations go directly to Feeding America!  The total amount donated depends on the number of participants since quantity of enrollment impacts the costs of the race swag and administrative costs, but we look forward to publishing the total amounts donated at the end of the event!
