“Which is your favorite?” Whether you are trying to pick your favorite trail shoe or a favorite race, it’s always hard to pick THE one and only favorite. This year, when it comes to raising money for Burning River, you don’t have to pick your favorite park system!

Fundraise your way to the start of the Burning River Endurance Run & Relay. You can waive your registration fees by raising money for our local parks! This year you don’t have to pick just one – all funds raised will be split between the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Cleveland Metroparks, and Summit Metro Parks Foundation.  These funds will help ensure quality Ohio trails for years to come!

It’s easy to become a fundraiser!  During registration, just choose the fundraising option. Then you will be prompted to set up a personal fundraising page, which can be shared via email or social media. We will keep you on track by sending encouragement and fundraising tips. The fundraising minimums (who can raise the most?) must be met prior to starting the race.

Fundraising Minimums
100M – $500
50M – $275
Relay Team Members – $200 per member
