About this campaign

Hogwarts Running Club is pleased to present our fifth event of 2018: The Royal 10k!

Dumbledore wasn't the only one who had "style". The future Minister for Magic was a critical member of the Order of the Phoenix...Kingsley Shacklebolt! One of the greatest Aurors ever, he helped keep Sirius' location a secret from the Ministry, saved the members of the DA during the Battle of the Dept of Mysteries, and bravely fought at the Battle of Hogwarts. After Voldemort came to power, he went into hiding, but remained active in the resistance effort, contributing to the Potterwatch radio broadcast under the alias....Royal. In honor of all of his incredible magical efforts, we are using our fifth event to celebrate Kingsley Shacklebolt.

Kingsley Shacklebolt showed us that with strong leadership skills, determination, and courage you can change the world! Hogwarts Running Club is pleased to announce the charity partner for this event is All Star Code! All Star Code is a nonprofit computer science education organization focused on giving young, intelligent, driven men of color access to the necessary skills so they can be part of the growing tech world. Few organizations prepare this under-served group for careers in innovations and technology. So, in honor of the most significant HP character of color, HRC is going to help All Star Code fund an entire "cohort" of 20 young men of color so they can complete their Summer Intensive Program in 2019.

As a nod to the Ministry of Magic, the Royal 10k event shirt celebrates the "Department of Magical Movement (Running Division)" and the proceeds will go to support All Star Code!!
