WHAT
The Human Race is a community fundraising event for non-profit organizations. The Race features a 5K run and walk. Organizations and businesses recruit walkers and runners to collect funds for their cause. Participating organizations receive between 75% – 80% of money collected and the Volunteer Center receives the remaining percentage to continue mobilizing volunteers to address community needs in Randolph County.
