Do I need to be a runner to join?

Not at all! You can walk, bike, kayak, use a treadmill, or even dance. Choose from 30+ activity types—every movement counts.

Do you have other shirt sizes available? What about other products?

Registration comes with your choice of merch. Selections vary by season, but typically include a shirt, medal, and third item. Size choices are available during registration. Additional products are also available in our Merch shop .

Do you offer group or corporate discounts?

Yes! We offer team savings and employee engagement programs. Learn more here .

How can I save money on registration?

The best way to save money is through our pass program: Season Pass program: You can purchase a registration with auto-renew for $50 per season (10% off for having auto-renew), Annual Pass program: You can choose to prepay for an annual pass for $220 for 5 seasons (like getting 5 seasons for the price of 4, or 20% off). These options are available on the last step of the registration process before you add to cart. Pro tip: you can stack the pass discounts with our Family Deal for even more savings: an extra 5% off when registering 2+ people, and 10% off for 4+

Free registration For holiday heroes

Free registration for holiday heroes

74 shirts donated to holiday heroes so far.

Counts updated at least daily.

Nurses and EMTs, firefighters and police, food bank volunteers, military members, delivery drivers: so many people spend the holidays serving so the rest of us can celebrate safely with a table full of friends, family, and food. We call them holiday heroes, and this season they can join the Holiday Hustle free. Here is how to take part.

Donate your shirt

When you pick your reward, choose "Donate my shirt to a holiday hero." Your shirt and a free entry go to a holiday hero.

Sponsor a holiday hero's free registration

Add one for $27.50 when you register. We match it, so each one covers a full $55 entry for a holiday hero. Add as many as you like.

Serving through the holidays?

Your Holiday Hustle is on us. Sign up free, pick a tee size, and you're in. We'll send tees in sign-up order as participants sponsor them.

Who saved your holiday?

Maybe the paramedic who showed up on Thanksgiving, the grocery clerk who set aside the last pie, or the pharmacist who filled a prescription on Christmas Eve. Sometimes you may not even know their names. Whether it was last December or years ago, tell us about them. A few sentences is all it takes to express your gratitude and inspire others.
