How Do I Participate?
Step 1. Sign up to Join the Runforhayward.com community.
We are a community of walkers and runners who share the goal of staying fit during the pandemic, building community and raising for charity. (Complete the Join Us form below.)
Step 2. Download Charity Miles Application (program used to record mileage).
Can be found on Android and IOS (Apple) app stores. Charity Miles is a free program dedicated to recording mileage (loosely like a pedometer that records for your phone).
Step 3. Create Account on Charity Miles & Choose a Charity among Listed Options
This is quick and easy. Each participant should set up his or her own account at Charity Miles, which will direct funds raised to a charity of your choice.
Search for and join our team, “Run for Hayward & Beyond,” by clicking on the bottom-right icon with three people.
Step 4. Sponsors
Sign up for a pledge drive, which will create your pledge page, and select your running goals.
Each runner’s pledge page will list the sponsors you add. Find your own sponsors and/or if you’d like, request a sponsor from Runforhayward.com.
Step 5. Log your Miles
Record your mileage (select “indoor” or “outdoor” activity) by opening the Charity Miles application each exercise session. When you finish an exercise session, then click “finished.” Your miles should update on your Charity Miles participant profile.
When you reach the end of your pledge drive, sponsors on your pledge page will be automatically notified, so that they can complete their donations to the charity you chose.
Step 6. Runner Recognition
Once, you’ve successfully logged 20 miles, notify Runforhayward.com so that we can process your $20 gift card to thank you for participating.
