The Human Race is a nationwide community fundraising event for nonprofit organizations and schools. The Human Race helpes address the needs of local non-profit agencies, schools, religious, social and arts groups. Many of the participating organizations depend on the Human Race to raise their operating funds for the year. In this economic downturn with its far-reaching budget cuts, it is ever more critical to maintain a lifeline with our non-profits.
The Santa Cruz County Human Race Walkathon and Fun Run took place May 8th, 2010. It began at 2300 Delaware Ave. across from the back entrance to Natural Bridges State Park. The course is approximately 5K and winds along beautiful West Cliff Drive. Shuttles were available for those who get tired.
Participating organizations receive 75-85% of funds raised and the Volunteer Centers of Santa Cruz receives the remaining percentage to coordinate and stage the event.
