Like any event, attendance and fundraising results are very important, but run/walks involve extra challenges and expenses including marketing, registration, and safety. This guide will walk you through the process of organizing a charity run/walk event for your organization, covering logistics like choosing a date, location, and t-shirts, along with volunteer management, budgeting, and promotion.
