Charity Initiative

Our Promise

The 9 to 5k Challenge’s mission is to create opportunities for organizations throughout the Triangle to experience the physical and mental health benefits of exercise and engage with their community.

For every five team members that register for an existing team, the 9 to 5k Challenge is committed to donating one free race entry to a Triangle-area charity or non-profit organization.
