Each drumline will receive a donation to their band booster association.

We ensure a safe event, including a warm-up, music, timing, fantastic sponsors, and a goodie bag for race entrants.

If you are a nonprofit, church group, school org, foundation or community group, please register as a team and receive $5.00 back for every registered team member for your organization's community efforts.
