How charity bibs work:

  1. Register for either the Mount Rainier Trail Events or Orca Half Marathon (details about both events below). At registration sign up for a charity bib entry. Registration fees will be waived with a fundraising commitment. Fundraising commitments vary depending on event and race distance. Be sure to select Washington Trails Association as your fundraising beneficiary. 
  2. Engage your friends and family to support your fundraising efforts. Wander Project will provide you with an online fundraising platform and the resources you need to get started.
  3. Once you’ve completed your fundraising efforts, you’ll be entered into the race. Note, if your fundraising goal is not met by the fundraising deadline, you will be required to pay the race fee.
  4. Have fun at your event and celebrate your support of trails!
  5. Wander Project and WTA split fundraising dollars to support both nonprofits. 75% of dollars raised go back to Washington Trails Association to support our vision of Trails for Everyone, Forever.
