Indy Runners Charity XC Challenge

🏃‍♂️ Welcome to the Indy Runners Charity XC Challenge!

Our 9th year hosting our Charity XC Challenge!

💰 Impact Over the Years

• Funds Raised: We have been blessed to distribute nearly $24,000 to many deserving Charities in our first 8-years! Thank you all so much!
• Location Rotation: We’ve been blessed to rotate between host sites the past few years.
• Host Site: After another fun year at North Central HS last year, we’re back to Brebeuf Jesuit High School this year.

🤝 Anchor Charities

This year’s Anchor Charities include our usual favorites and are open for anyone to join:

• Back on My Feet: A charity dedicated to helping individuals experiencing homelessness.
• Joseph Maley Foundation: Supporting children and young adults with disabilities.
• Girls on the Run: Empowering girls through running and self-esteem programs.
• Outrun the Sun: Our Permanent Anchor Charity for melanoma research in recognition of our dear friend, Don Keller.

🏅 Create Your Own Team

As always, you can Create Your Own Team and support a Charity of your choosing:

• Team Participation: Recruit as many folks to join you as you can.
• Charity Support: Half of the entry fees on your Team go directly to that Charity.
• Race Structure: We Race for the other half using our Age Graded Percent again this year.
• Inclusivity: This levels the playing field across both Age and Gender so we’re all in the same division.

💻 Virtual Participation

VIRTUAL: With our move to Labor Day, we realize several folks will have other fun plans that weekend and may not necessarily make it back on Monday to join us in the Charity XC fun. 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. We’ll add it in the Pot for distribution to all the charities according to finish.

📅 Important Registration Information
