New This Year!

Each challenge now offers participants the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by fundraising for a cause they care about. Starting this year, individuals can register their own fundraising team on behalf of a charity of their choice during the registration process. Funds raised will support a variety of nonprofit organizations, including the 500 Festival Foundation, which provides free education, health, and leadership development programs that impact the lives of 100,000 youth and families each year.
