nine+ hours – 100% discount
If you sign up for (or are on) our volunteer email list,
you will get an additional 25% off.

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.
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.
