We are stronger and can do more together than we can as just one. And we can't do any of it without your support. There are a variety of ways you can support our work and this incredible community: You can donate to the cause (we are a registered 501c3 public charity, so your donations are fully tax deductible); you can fly the flag when you are out and about by buying a hat or a T or a hoodie or socks; you can spread the word by giving a hat or T or socks to your favorite trail lover; you can join the community by signing up and running our races; you can volunteer at our events; or, you can sponsor our events with cash or product – or even both. At the very least, you should sign up to receive our regular newsletter so you stay in the loop about it all.
Give
Your support enables us to connect the good people, great companies, and important causes that depend on dedicated and committed people to build a better world. Your generous financial contributions enable us to do the good things we do and keep the lights on. Your donations are, of course, fully tax deductible and we promise to make good use of the money you worked hard to earn and share.
We really only run, ride, hike and give together. We give our all and give back - with your help.
We are incredibly proud to be a 1% for the Planet Partner.
Fly the Flag
One of the best ways for you to share our story is to fly the flag. Our Ts, truckers, socks, and other goodies are ideal for hitting the trail, the coffee joint or the post-run or ride pub. You’ll look good wherever you are and you’ll inevitably get asked about those two simple words. Feel free to tell ‘em about us and, of course, embellish if you feel the need.

Join Us: RUN OR VOLUNTEER
What if we had a race and no one came? That’s not good. If you’re looking for that special race, the one that unites people, passion and purpose, join us in the winter and fall each year. Test your mettle and do some solid good for our natural environment while you’re at it.
Fall and Winter Trail Race info:
Our 8th Annual Suffer Better Fall Trail Runs: October 2024. 25 and 50K options, including the newest Fishslapping Division, and more fun as we all raise dough to protect and preserve our public lands and waters! Join us at Staunton State Park.
2024 Running Up For Air (RUFA-Staunton): February 23-24 at beautiful Staunton State Park and help us raise real money to improve our air.

Volunteer
If you can’t or don’t run we always (always) need volunteers for a variety of tasks, everything from timing, to aid stations, to cooking pierogis. If that works for you, it works for us. Send a note here.
Partner with us.
We work with some incredible people, companies and organizations to make everything work. They get us, our goals and our audience. We genuinely appreciate their commitment and their support. We inevitably need cash, product, promotional support (e.g. social media), and willing volunteers to make it all come together.
We’d love to work with you, so if you’re interested, drop us a note right here. We’ll get right back to you.
