Description of Race Events

Welcome to the 2010 Racing Cane 6k, 3k and 1k kids race. Why the unusual distances? This race benefits children in the Dominican Republic who travel an average of 3 kilometers each way to school – many without shoes on their feet.

Additional Race Information

Run13 and the Racing the Cane Foundation are committed to improving the lives of these children in the Dominican Republic’s sugarcane fields. Our goal is to encourage local community involvement in raising both scholarship funds and shoes for distribution. During this year’s Racing Cane event, runners will have the opportunity to collect and donate shoes. In the Spring of 2011 we will journey to the Dominican Republic to distribute the shoes and host a free running event for the children there. Part of your registration fee will go towards sponsoring Dominican children to attend English academies, as those who speak English have a greater chance of attaining further education, becoming employed, and thus breaking out of the sugarcane fields. We believe that education and enterprise can help stop the cycle of poverty and give these children the option of a better life. Come join us and the Racing the Cane Foundation for this important event. For more information regarding the Racing the Cane Foundation, visit racingthecane.com
