4. What does pledging to the 5K entail?
By fundraising for this event, you help us raise invaluable funds to enhance the quality of life for underserved adults who would not otherwise have access to medical care.
We are dedicated to providing high-quality, accessible care to the underserved population, and most of the proceeds raised from the run will support our three medical clinics across Rochester.

Online contributions can be made by credit card on the runner’s personalized page found on our website here. Just make sure to tell your sponsors to select your name from the list of runners. Remember that donations through Wizathon are non-tax deductible. Please visit urwell.org and click the "Donate" tab if you would like your donation to be tax-deductible.
6. Do you have fundraising tips? What if I don't raise enough funds to meet my goal?
After registering, you will be prompted to set up a personal fundraising page. Add a picture and a personal note to your page explaining why UR Well is important to you. The tools provided allow you to request that friends and family donate to your page through email, Facebook, etc. Consider looking into companies that offer charitable donation matching programs to help you reach your goal sooner.
If you don't meet your fundraising goal, don't stress! This is a community-wide effort, and we appreciate every individual effort you make to ensure that UR Well can continue to provide care to the uninsured.
7. Do I have to run? Can't I just walk the 5K?
You can walk, skip, or run the 5K. This 5K should be enjoyable and is a way to help you meet your own fitness goals. We are delighted by any and everyone who takes steps towards getting healthier and supporting a great cause.
8. Should I run alone or as a team?
Either is fine. Participants can run alone or create their own team to run through a relatively flat course along the tree-lined river paths.
9. I have never run a race. Will I be able to finish a 5K?
Many of our participants are first-time runners. This event is meant to be low-pressure and stress-free with the common goal of coming together as a community to support UR Well.
10. Is there a refund/exchange policy?
Yes. If a donation was made accidentally or for the wrong amount, simply make us aware of the issue and we will be happy to make any necessary refunds, changes or corrections. Race registration fees are not refundable.
11. Is parking available?
Please note that is limited at the Roundhouse Shelter. We highly encourage you to run, bike, or carpool. Please allow sufficient time for parking and registration. |
