Can I participate without running the entire course?
Absolutely! But with enough support, you'll but able to do it! Don’t feel like you must run the full length of the course. If you want to walk, or even crawl, you should feel free. The important part is to finish!
What's the difference between an "Individual" and a "Team?"
Everyone participates as an individual runner but can join a team during sign up (second option in sign up), which is either their division or staff. Prizes are awarded to both the highest-earning individuals and teams.
Can we create our own team?
Yes. If campers and/or staff would like to create a team for a specific cause or in someone's memory, they may create and run for that team.
OK, I'm ready to get sponsors. What do I do?
Contact your friends, family, and social network and ask them to support your run! Online contributions can be made by credit card on each runner’s personalized page found on this website. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners. They can also send a check to our camp office (1118 Avenue J Brooklyn, NY 11230) payable to Chai Lifeline. Please make sure that sponsors write your name on the check so that we can ensure that you are given credit for the donation.
