Then here's how it works
- Runners pay your entry fee of $150: LuMIn paid the $1,800 for the team. This means that your entry fee will be a donation to LuMin and is considered a tax-deductible gift!
- Raise money for LuMin's ministry on your own: Our goal is to raise $20,000! This money raised between now and race day will support our work on the college campus' in St. Cloud
- Run the prescribed amount: Each team member will run 15-26 miles over 3 separate legs. When you are not running, you will be cheering your team on or traveling to the next exchange point.
- Set up a crowd source style landing page for your personal fundraising: You will have a personalized webpage to use to direct people to donate to your portion of the fundraising. These funds will be directed to LuMIn right away. We also will be helping find congregations willing to sponsor your efforts, unless you can get a congregation to do that!
- Get you an awesome tech running shirt or jacket and a 12 LuMIn's run Ragnar T-shirt
- Coordinate all of the race logistics: From transportation to meals, overnight accommodations to group organizing, we've got you covered.
