About the Charity: The Dragonfly Foundation delivers the best emotional, relational, and practical support systems for families affected by pediatric cancer. At their core, what they offer is community, the feeling that you are not alone during this alien, isolating experience that strips even the closest and best-intentioned family and friends from your ranks. They live to provide understanding, support, resources and opportunities families will rely and reflect on for years to come.

A portion of the proceeds from this virtual race (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to the The Dragonfly Foundation. For more information or to make a direct contribution, please visit Dragonfly.org

About this Virtual Run: 2020 – The year that just keeps on giving… kicks to the groin, that is! Join our Dumpster Fire virtual race and help us support an organization dedicated to ridding the world’s oceans of plastic trash. All participants will receive this commemorative 4″ Dumpster Fire medal, featuring scratch-n-sniff flames that smell like fire and an attached gas can charm.

“It’s Fine. I’m Fine. Everything is Fine!”

Matching Shirts: Add a 2020: One Star Review Shirt or a 2020: At Least Running Wasn’t Cancelled Shirt to your registration for an additional $20 ($18 for Club VS Members). Both shirts are available in adult sizes S-XXL:

About the Charity: Founded in 2013, the Ocean Cleanup is designing and developing cleanup systems to clean up what is already polluting our oceans and to intercept plastic on its way to the ocean via rivers.

A significant percentage of the plastic that enters the oceans from rivers and other sources during a transfer that can take many years, drifts into large systems of circulating ocean currents, also known as gyres. Once trapped in a gyre, the plastic will slowly break down into microplastics and become increasingly easier to mistake for food by sea life.

A portion of the proceeds from this virtual race (at least $5 from each registration) will be donated to the The Ocean Cleanup. For more information or to make a direct contribution, please visit TheOceanCleanup.com.
