Event Description

Race for Ryland this year is a month-long physical challenge fundraiser. Registration is $35, and participants can choose to compete alone or with a team. Simply choose one of 3 course options (15miles, 25miles, 50miles) and complete within the month by either running, walking, or jogging that distance. Lace up your shoes and join us to help raise awareness and funds for rare diseases, honor all Rare Warriors out there as well as pay tribute to our Rare Warrior Ryland Grace! All donations and proceeds of the race will be donated to the National Organization for Rare Diseases (NORD) on behalf of the Ryland Grace Memorial Fund. 

The challenge period will begin on February 1st and closes at 11:59pm on February 28th. Participants will upload their time and distance progress to the virtual race platform, allowing them to compete with fellow challengers. Make sure to check in weekly on the Challenge Updates page as well as the official Race for Ryland Facebook Page, and compete against each other to see who can top the leaderboard for their category! This is your chance to challenge yourself and enjoy some good old fashioned competition. The top challengers with the best time i each distance category will be our winners and will receive a prize! Winners will be based on fastest times logged. 

 Included with each registration is a t-shirt, a few freebies, and a digital bib. Physical items will be mailed to you and arrive within the last week of the race.

If you’d like to help the rare disease community in a BIG WAY, at NO EXTRA COST to you, listen up! The best way you can support our efforts to raise funds to be donated to NORD is to set up your own individual fundraising page! This is a page you can share with friends and family via email/text/social media post, and tracks the donations that you as an individual are able to raise for NORD. The top fundraisers will receive a prize, our profound thanks, social media fame, and a title more impressive than any royal title. This part of the race fundraiser is where you can really make a difference, so we encourage each and every participant to create a page and give it a go! We've made it as easy as possible for you to do. Simply set it up upon registration and start collecting donations.

Throughout your journey, we’d love to see your in-action photos and status updates. Post them on our Facebook page and/or tag us in your social media posts at @race4ryland on Facebook and Instagram.  Be goofy, we expect it from many of you and don't forget to SHOW YOUR STRIPES!
