We are thrilled to announce the newest charity partner to the Waterloo Running Series: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region!
The newest race of the Waterloo Running Series is In Running Colour. It’s 4 KM of fun – no timing, no awards, just colour! We are very excited to turn this race into an annual fundraiser for the local chapter of Canada’s leading child and youth mentoring charity.
Big Brothers Big Sisters facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children and youth to reach their potential through a variety of mentoring programs including one-to-one and group programs, for both in school and outside of school. We think it’s a great fit for this new race!
There are many ways that YOU can help:
– Volunteer today! A race this awesome needs awesome volunteers! Click here.
– Sign up! Join the running event of the summer, it’s fun and it’s a fundraiser! Click here.
– Collect pledges! Why? To support this great cause and to win great prizes. Every participant who raises $100 in pledges earns a total entry fee refund, and the top pledge raiser wins a Mountain Bike! How? General online donations can be made securely through this link, but all runners have their own pledge page to raise support. Find yours here and share your own personal link!
