Charity Bib
Raise a minimum of $1,000 to support the communities in and around Yosemite National Park and we'll waive your race entry fee. The Charity Bib program is a serious commitment, so please don’t take this lightly. You will have until 2 weeks prior to the race to raise the funds and become eligible to run. If you are short of meeting your goal, you'll be charged the remainder of the fundraising commitment. All donations are final. As an added bonus this year, there will be prizes for the TOP fundraiser at each event. AND, if you are the top fundraiser for the year (this includes charity bibs for all 14 races) you will win a race entry, flight and hotel accommodations for a 2022 half marathon of your choice!
