After you sign up for the event, you will have the opportunity to set up your very own RAP5k Page to share on social media and with family and friends who might support you as you participate in the Race Against Poverty. Have fun raising funds for the cause, and receive cool rewards as you reach certain levels! You can also track your progress on your RAP5k Page at any time.
Even if each of us finds 5 people to give $20 each to support us in the Race Against Poverty, that would be $100 additional per participant and several tens of thousands of dollars extra collectively. Wow! Lets do it!
We have a no refund policy. If you can not join us for the event, you can still have a friend Check-In for you at Early Check-In or the event so you can get your t-shirt.
All walkers and runners have a timing chip on their bibs, so no worries.

Yes, absolutely! Race Day registration is permitted. Online registration closes the day of the event; however, you can still register at the event. Registration and Check-In open at 5:00 pm and closes at 6:00 pm. Understand we may run out of t-shirts if you don’t pre-register and the registration fee will be a little higher at the event.
There’s nothing like having a good music mix to get you going! Find the official Race Against Poverty tunes on Spotify for you to listen to. With a good mix of oldies and pop, it will be your new favorite! Click here to open in Spotify or search “Race Against Poverty #RAP5k” to find it in the app.
No, we encourage you to share your very own RAP5k Page on social media and with family and friends who might support you and want the convenience of giving online.
You can put out a yard sign to help promote this unique event. This is a great way to raise awareness for critical community work with families working hard to build long-term stability.
Limited supply, first come, first served.
YES! This is a family-friendly event, and we welcome parents who need to use a stroller for a child. Of course, we ask that you be respectful of other runners and not block the whole width of the Rail Trail with several strollers or a cluster of people side by side.

This is a Rain or Shine event, so we will be there hoping for the best regardless of the weather forecast. If the weather turns ugly and you don’t want to participate, you can still come to the Check-In Tent to receive your t-shirt. However, there are no refunds. If a storm is brewing, we may need to start 10-15 minutes early or wait for it to pass. Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe. If the weather is too severe and we are required to call off the race, it would be a last-minute decision made at the race. Should that happen, we plan a make up day for the following weekend.
