Run Forest Run Forest Park Fundraiser

About this campaign

Earth Day is April 22nd and in honor of this day, we are using the 5,200 acres of Forest Park to inspire us to help maintain, preserve and restore the park. To do so we are raising money for our beautiful urban forest and the conservancy that helps maintain it by holding a Miles for Forest Park challenge. Forest Park offers itself to the family, athlete, and every day forest explorer with gorgeous views, beautiful structures and perfect single track. Now it’s our turn to give back to this forest that gives so much to us. We challenge you to run, walk and hike what you can on the weekend before Earth Day, April 17th & 18th with the goal to raise money towards the Forest Park Conservancy. We are suggesting a $52 donation but also getting friends and family to support you in donating per mile you run, walk or hike or donating a lump sum on your behalf. The top 5 highest fundraisers will receive amazing prizes from our partners and sponsors. And every participant will be entered into a raffle for other awesome prizes. But wait, there’s more! If you are someone (like us) that needs a little bit more structure, we have created three routes within Forest Park. Runners that participate in these structured routes will have the opportunity to achieve “place” prizes. Below are the structured route options: 52 Miler 52K 5.2 Miler You have through June to complete the "structured" courses and qualify for place prizes and receive custom race medals! Our goal is to raise $5,200 for Forest Park and we hope you can help us get there!
