A Great Race for Some
Great Causes
The "Farm Race" raises funds for more than one cause! Over the last
8 years, the race has given over $190,000 to the Living History Farms (a not-for-profit
museum) and funded a Capital Striders endowment that will continue to give college scholarships to Des Moines area senior XC athletes. It has also
raised both food and money for the DMARC Food Pantry. Additionally, the race has
donated funds to area age-group track & swimming teams, the American Red Cross,
the Boy Scouts of America, the MDA, area Fire Depts. plus sponsored area races and
purchased equipment and racing supplies that are used at area road races as well
as middle and high school XC meets.
All proceeds go to non-profit
entities.
|
Bring a non-perishable food
item to donate and you will be eligible for the door prize drawing for 6 pairs of
Adidas running shoes.
These will be giving
away during the award ceremony!
During the awards ceremony
there will be a raffle for all the participants. There will be Adidas shoes and other
door prizes. You will need to be present to win.
