Fundraising minimums for charity bibs are stated as: $1,000 for the 50 Mile, $750 for the 50K, and $500 for the Half Marathon. After reaching 50% of the fundraising minimum, participants receive a code to register for the race with the entry fee waived. The organizer notes limited charity bibs and a requirement to meet the minimum or pay the difference two weeks before the event if the minimum is not met.
