How can I participate?
This year, there are two types of events: BIPEDAL or RIDE

• We don't care if you walk / jog / run / skip / saunter / bounce / meander / ride / slither / slide / dance or stampede. We just want you to get up, move and "Run (or walk) for Rhinos" to help save them from extinction!
• For the BIPEDAL event, you may use your own two legs or equipment such as a treadmill, elliptical, stair climber, etc., to help reach your distance goal.
• For the RIDE event, you may use horses or equipment such as a bicycle, tricycle, skateboard, scooter, etc. to help reach your distance goal (nothing with an engine to be fair).
• After the race time, just log-in to your participant page and record your distance traveled. It's that easy!

Participate on your own, form a CRASH (group of rhinos) Team up to 6 individuals, and Earn PRIZES!!
