Fundraising:

When you have completed your registration you will be asked if you'd like to fundraise for a charity. Please select yes. A list will be populated, scroll towards the bottom and you'll see DVCS. Select DVCS and follow the prompts.

Registration:

Please register directly via the Canberra Times Marathon Festival website: Registration

You will be asked if you want to run as part of a team, please answer no. You will run as an individual.

Why DVCS:

Fundraisers who reach a minimum target of $300 will also receive a complimentary DVCS Running Singlet (must meet minimum target by 1 October 2020). All runners also receive an invitation to the DVCS Supporter Drinks in November 2020. We have reduced the minimum target from $500 by way of acknowledging the financial and emotinal cost the recent bush fires have had on our community.

The highest adult fundraiser will receive two complimentary tickets to the DVCS Gala Ball on Saturday 15 May 2021 (Covid pending).

All DVCS runners are invited to be part of our exclusive DVCS Runners Closed Facebook group to keep each other motivated and share training tips!

All the money raised by our runners will be used to support our payment of emergency accommodation and security upgrades for those subjected to violence in the ACT community.
