TRAIL RACES

We’re excited to partner with Wander Project to bring you charity bibs for the following events in 2024!

  • Bryce Canyon Ultras (May 18-19, 2024): 100mi, 50mi, 60K, 50K, 30K

    This scenic, mountain course runs around the northern half and western edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau in Utah, offering spectacular views above and below the hoodoos. The race is run at high elevation, with most of the miles on this rugged course between 7,000 – 9,000 ft.

  • Glacier Half (June 29, 2024): 13.1mi

    This race is not for the faint of heart as it climbs about 8 miles. However, every runner that makes it up the hill is totally rewarded with a spectacular view right into Glacier National Park, Montana!

  • Transrockies Run (Aug 12-17, 2024): Multi-day race

    This multi-day event takes you through some of the prettiest places in all of Colorado. Not to mention, you build the most supportive community in the process. With big days, spectacular views and some of the best people around, this is definitely one for your bucket list!

  • Grand Circle Trailfest: Kanab (Oct 2-6, 2024): Multi-day race

    Are you ready for a weekend filled with runs in Zion, Bryce and Horseshoe bend? Join us for this 4-day festival in southern Utah that includes music, fun and of course some of the most scenic runs in town!

  • Javelina Jundred (Oct 26-27, 2024): 100mi, 100K

    Javelina Jundred is the original costumed 100 mile trail run party. Join the party on Jalloween weekend! The race is held on a rolling single-track trail course comprised mostly of the Pemberton Trail in beautiful McDowell Mountain Regional Park, Arizona


(Psst - are you looking for an event not on the above list? Take a look at Wander Project’s full list of events and contact us at info@freetorun.org if there’s another race you’d like access to - we’ll try our best to make it happen!)


How do charity bibs with Wander Project work?

A charity bib is a free entry into one of the above events in exchange for raising awareness and funds for Free to Run.

Once you register for a charity bib, you will be automatically prompted to set up a fundraising page through Wander Project’s peer-to-peer fundraising platform. From there, Wander Project will give you the tools and resources to help you engage your friends and family in your fundraising efforts. This means you’ll have support from Wander Project (as well as from Free to Run) at every step of your fundraising journey.

Fundraising commitments range from $500-$5,000 depending on the event. Please understand that by signing up for a charity bib, you are making a serious commitment to raise the amount you agreed to. If you are not able to meet the minimum fundraising amount by the week of the race, you will be required to pay the difference.

Once you raise your minimum commitment you’ll be all set to participate in the event!


Benefits of racing for Free to Run

As a Free to Run fundraiser, you will receive benefits including:

  • Fundraising support to help you surpass your goal

  • A chance to contribute to Free to Run’s work to advance gender equity globally through running.
