How You Can Participate

1) Donate to support recovery

Give without running. Donations go directly through Givebutter.

2) Join or form a relay team

Run, walk, or support the crew. You don’t need to be elite—just dependable.

3) Sponsor a VIP Team

VIP Teams are available with a donation of $1,000+. Ideal for companies and partner groups.

VIP Teams ($1,000+)

VIP Teams are the easiest way for an organization to show up with visibility, team-building, and a coordinated basecamp experience—while directly supporting Palisades recovery.

What the VIP experience includes
  • Team-building by design with a shared, mission-driven goal
  • Health-forward participation — run or walk a relay leg at any pace
  • Reserved team basecamp for gathering, cheering, and downtime
  • Flexible attendance — drop in for an hour or stay longer
  • Relay options: 6-hour, 12-hour, or full 24-hour teams
  • On-site visibility with space for company or team banners
How relay teams work

Teams rotate runners/walkers on a 2.2-mile loop. No one is “on” the whole time. You can structure shifts so participation is easy and flexible.

What we need from you
  • Estimated headcount
  • Your preferred team option (6/12/24)
  • Primary point of contact
  • Any banners or branded materials you’d like displayed
Next steps

Email Erin to reserve a VIP Team and confirm availability. We’ll handle logistics and make participation simple for your group.
