From the Organizer

Gather a team of 5-8 people committed to logging miles in the month of July to raise funding for Hope House Cañon City! Each team will choose a category: walking, running, or cycling.

Initial registration is free, but each team agrees to raise a minimum of $500 by July 31, 2026.
Teams who raise $100 before June 18 get t-shirts!

Once you sign up and join a team, you'll set up an individual fundraising page that you can share with family and friends. The support you raise online will count toward your team's fundraising total ($500 minimum required per team).

Here's how it works:

  1. Your team captain will need to register and create the team first, then share a team password with the group.
  2. Teams commit to donating or fundraising a minimum of $500. (This can be paid by the team, by fundraising, or by finding community sponsors.)
  3. Tell all your friends about Hope House!
  4. Remember to raise at least $100 before June 18 to receive shirts.
  5. Get out and go for walks, hikes, runs or bike rides in support of Hope House.
  6. Log your miles on this website from July 1-31 (track each walk/run/ride using your personal device of choice - smart watch/phone app/pedometer - then enter on your virtual results page).
  7. Prizes will be given for the team with the most miles in each category (walking, running, or cycling), AND the team who raises the most money for Hope House overall!
