NEW PLEDGE/FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE

We have added a new pledging/fundraising option to this year’s event. In lieu of race fees, you commit to raising pledges/fundraise for you to race, in support of the Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation. The purpose of this option is to allow businesses or organizations to race, with the goal of raising pledges for the team to compete (and hopefully complete!) in a triathlon or duathlon. These sports can be a little intimidating, but we wanted to make this a fun event for everyone and to also benefit the Arctic Indigenous Wellness Foundation. To register with this option, you will start a GoFundMe fundraiser and share it with your community to raise pledges and fundraise for the AIWF. 

We’ve already put the CHALLENGE out there to Cabin Radio! Spread the Challenge!
