Indy Runners Charity XC Challenge

Race Overview

Our 9th year hosting our Charity XC Challenge!

Charity Contributions

• Total Donations: We have been blessed to distribute nearly $25,000 to many deserving Charities in our first 8-years! Thank you all so much!
• Host Site: We've been blessed to rotate between host sites the past few years. After another fun year at North Central HS last year, we're back to Brebeuf Jesuit High School this year.

Anchor Charities

• Featured Charities: This year's Anchor Charities include our usual favorites and are open for anyone to join - Back on My Feet, Joseph Maley Foundation, Girls on the Run...
• Permanent Anchor Charity: Of course, our Permanent Anchor Charity - Outrun the Sun for melanoma research in recognition of our dear friend, Don Keller.
• Team Participation: "Team Dono" is open to all who wish to honor Don's legacy by supporting further research into the disease which eventually took his life.

Create Your Own Team

• Team Opportunities: As always, you can Create Your Own Team and support a Charity of your choosing (we've had some great ones over the years).
• Entry Fee Contribution: Recruit as many folks to join you as you can as Half of the entry fees on your Team go directly to that Charity.
• Race Format: Then we Race for the other half - using our Age Graded Percent again this year which levels the playing field across both Age and Gender so we're all in the same division.

Virtual Participation

• Virtual Option: With our move to Labor Day, we realize several folks will have other fun plans that weekend and not necessarily make it back on Monday to join us in the Charity XC fun.
• Support Causes: If you would still like to support our causes, but can't make it On Site, please consider signing up Virtually and Donate whatever you feel comfortable with.
• Distribution Plan: We'll add it in the Pot for distribution to all the charities according to finish.
