Relay race discount policy:
One runner may apply their discount to a relay race as listed above.
If two runners on the relay team both want to apply their volunteer discount, they will receive the max discount as listed in parenthesis.


Other Details: No cumulative discounts for multiple races, but you can earn multiple discounts in a given year for multiple races.
Discount must be used within 12 months and 1 day of volunteering.

Every year we give out several thousand dollars worth of free entries as a thank you to our volunteers, hence the need to keep some sort of track.
 

Please contact us if you are interested in helping out for a specific race or if you just want to be added to our contact list.

Charity

Some of the proceeds for Dirty Feet Races go to non profit organizations.
Most notably, donations are given to the Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary via the Harding Hustle race.
