Each team member registers in the appropriate Team Member category and creates or chooses your team.

How do I go about submitting the miles that I have completed each day? Each person will have a specific user ID and user Link assigned to them at the end of the registration process.

CONTRIBUTIONS
Since the NYSVR434 events were begun during Covid, we have been able to contribute over $108,000 from all of our virtual events.
These donations have been made possible by participation in the events and by your kind donations.
Nine deserving organizations throughout Western New York have benefited from these donations that have been made possible by participation in the events and by your kind donations.
For this final virtual event, we are eliminating the shirts and medals and instead donating those associated costs to our 2024 chosen organization.
Charity Partner
RURAL OUTREACH CENTER
A portion of every registration will be donated to the Rural Outreach Center. Please help this worthy organization through your additional donation.
Based in East Aurora, ROC’s mission is to break the cycle of rural poverty by accompanying people towards self-sufficiency. We assist, empower, and elevate.
There are over 40,000 people in poverty in the southern WNY zip codes we serve. Rural poverty is called the invisible poverty because it is hidden and dispersed across a wide geographic area, making it difficult to provide services. The ROC is here to fill that service gap.
