Running Scared 5K/13K

Special Olympics Georgia mission is to change attitudes toward people with intellectual disabilities and to transform lives through the joy of sport, every day, everywhere.

Running Scared 5K/13K is currently accepting sponsors. For more information, contact Meredith.

Why should you sponsor the Five Star NTP Running Scared 5K/13K?

1. Develop a relationship with your community.
2. Express your support for a charity.
3. Increase name-recognition in your community.

Our process for building a race experience means that your business has the opportunity to be the driving force behind a race, including an Early Packet Pickup the evening before an event (bringing traffic through your door) or a customized finish line experience for our racers.

Partner Level Pricing--Current year's rates are based on last year's participation counts. Each race is priced individually. Contact Meredith@fivestarntp.com for more details.
 

For Partner Level and other Sponsor descriptions, visit Five Star NTP.

Volunteers at the race may earn a $50 Visa gift card.

A Volunteer must sign up on the Volunteer Registration page. The Volunteer must show up to work the entire race and Volunteer must recruit 5 people to work this race also. Those five must also sign up on the Volunteer Registration page, put your name as "Recruited By" and show up to work entire race. All volunteers must be at least 13 years or older.
