Run for Charity

3/25/2014

Fargo Marathon encourages fitness and healthy lifestyles and provides an option for runners to make their miles count for causes they believe in. Fargo Marathon Charity Teams recruit and encourage runners to raise money and awareness for their charity through participation in all race events. Go the extra mile when you run or walk for a Charity Team in the Fargo Marathon!

Why Run for Charity?
Running in a race event like the Fargo Marathon gives you a target date to concentrate on your running efforts. Adding a charity component – raising money for a special cause makes that internal timeline an external motivator.

Becoming a Charity Runner gives purpose for training to run or walk a goal distance or time.  You don’t have to run a marathon to be a Charity Runner. You can walk the 5k (3.1 miles) or get your kids involved in a Youth Run (under age 4 and up to age 12). Kids care about their community too:  being a Charity Runner for an organization that provides services for other kids can be a great teachable experience.  Plus, to get them in gear for the race may give kids (and parents) added physical activity time!

Do you have a family member that is a survivor, has a special need, or benefits from the charity you’d support financially?  Those personal reasons are another strong inspiration to participate in a race event as a Charity Runner.  Thinking about the people or children that benefit from the money you raise may provide the needed extra encouragement you need to get up and out the door to train for your race.

Some people love the great feeling of camaraderie they get when they are a part of a team. Many Fargo Marathon Charity Teams give shirts or hats to Charity Runners so that the runner looks and feels like a member. Team-up with family, friends or co-workers to train together, raise money together and run together. 

It’s worth the mention that money you give to charity does have a tax benefit. Check with your tax professional on what a tax deduction can mean for you.

Whether you raise $150 or $10,500 you can’t dismiss the feeling you get after 3 or 26.2 miles –however fast or slow it goes – that overall self-satisfaction that you got off the couch, you beat the bystander, you put one-foot in front of the other and you did it all for someone else. A pretty great feeling.
