HOW IT WORKS
  • Register for the Durango Marathon, the San Juan Mountains Half Marathon, the Telegraph Trail 50K or the Horse Gulch Trail 25K, and pay the entry fee. You don't have to be a world-class athlete or runner to participate. Many of us will be walking to show our support for WRC! If you collect $500 or more in pledges, WRC will reimburse your entry fee.
     
  • Download the registration form for Run with Purpose and return to the Women’s Resource Center by mail or fax. There is no fee to participate! (Contact WRC if you would like a form mailed or faxed to you.)
     
  • Collect pledges from your family and friends with an EASY ONLINE SYSTEM! After you register at www.durangomarathon.com, you will be redirected to an online system called Active.com to solicit pledges via an e-mail that you can customize!
     
  • OR, you can download this pledge form and ask your family and friends in person.
     
  • After you check in for your race(s) on October 7 at the Durango Recreation Center, just stop by the Run with a Purpose table to receive a “goodie bag” of cool gifts for participating.
     
  • Return your pledge sheet and all donations collected to WRC by October 31, 2006.
     

WHAT YOU’LL GET

  • Incentive prizes for collecting pledges at the $500, $1000 and $1500 level.
  • A “goodie bag” that includes a commemorative t-shirt and other cool gift items from sponsors and local merchants;
  • A great feeling from helping women help themselves;
  • Camaraderie with other women; and
  • A sense of accomplishment from meeting your fitness goals!

*The Women's Resource Center does not receive a portion of the entry fee for Durango Double -- a Festival for Runner. But your participation in the Durango Double includes a variety of benefits beyond Run with Purpose benefits.
