Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q: What is a Virtual Challenge?
A: A Virtual Challenge is a non-competitive event where people participate in different places and at different times. You have from Thursday, September 1st through Friday, September 30th at Midnight to complete the  challenge and record your results on the Hike for Clearwater site.

Q: What does becoming a fundraiser mean?
A: It means your name will appear on the DONATE TO A HIKE page allowing your supporters contribute to Clearwater in recognition of your efforts and accomplishments. You will have a personalized fundraising page which you can customize and share. If you do this (and we hope you will), please be super sure to thank each and every one of your supporters. 

Q: I did not create a fundraiser when I registered. Can I add one now?
A: Yes, under Manage Your Registration, you can add a personal fundraising page. Detailed instruction can be found under How to add a Fundraiser.

Q: My name does not appear under Donate to a Hike or Top Fundraisers, why is that?
A: There are two possible reasons. Perhaps you registered but did not select Become a Fundraiser. You must create a fundraiser to accept donations specific to your hike. If you have created a fundraiser and it does not appear, you have checked “Hide from public lists”. You can add a Fundraiser or edit your fundraiser from the Manage Your Registration menu. See the previous question.
