All DVCS runners and fundraisers have access to the exclusive DVCS tent found near the finish line.
Our tent will include chairs, blankets, water, fruit and lollipops for when you have completed the race.
We are also happy to mind your gear while you race (please note we are not able to mind children or pets).
All runners also receive an invitation to the DVCS Supporter Drinks in November 2019.
Fundraisers who reach a minimum target of $500 will also receive a complimentary DVCS Running Singlet, available on the day.
The highest fundraiser will receive two complimentary tickets to the DVCS Gala Ball on Saturday 18 May 2019.
There might even be some encouraging DVCS supporters on the track to help keep you motivated.
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!
We are in the process of organising a physio for the benefit of DVCS fundraisers only.
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.
