Race Details

Red Podium will be used for online race registration and Giving Fuel will be used for online donations and fundraising. We are excited to have the team functionality back, as both platforms encourage team participation. Partnering with these providers will ensure our supporters have a fast, easy, and positive experience when registering or donating online. Registrations and donations can be made via a Smartphone.

PLEASE NOTE:There is a small additional fee per online registration or donation transaction. This fee does not benefit Reflections Of Grace, but rather covers the cost of each platform’s administrative services.

WAIVER REQUIRED: For liability purposes, a waiver must be signed for each participant, regardless of age.
