Donut Run FAQs

GETTING STARTED

Can I register day of to walk/run at the event?

  • Yes, walk-up registrations are available starting at 7:30am. You can also register at Early Packet Pick-up on Friday, November 18th, from 12:00pm to 7:00pm at ASK’s office located at 5211 West Broad Street, Suite 100, Richmond, VA.


What are your event safety measures?

  • We are excited to be back at St. Christopher's School where we can safely spread out, stay socially-distant and have a sweet time! Volunteers will be required to sign our Covid safety & precautions waiver; and volunteers handing out food & drink will be required to wear gloves and a mask. Richmond police officers will be on the course for traffic control, we have volunteer course marshals and Richmond Ambulance Authority keeping us safe all morning long!

    There is also the option to register and particpate virtually! Just choose the virtual 5K option to receive your swag and help to make life better for children with cancer.


What do my registration fees cover?

  • Your walk/run registration includes a t-shirt, finisher medal, and Dunkin' finisher's breakfast. Because you receive these awesome goodies in return, your registration is not tax deductible but donations are!


What about registration for kids?

  • All kids aged 6 or older must register to take part in the 5K. They will receive a bib number, t-shirt and medal. Kids aged 5 or below can register for the Kids Donut Dash where they will receive a bib number and medal, and can join you afterwards on the 5K course.


Will I get a timing chip?

  • Registered runners will have timing chips. During registration you will have the option to choose if you'd like to sign-up as a runner with chip timing, or a walker with no chip timing. Results will be posted on this site as soon as possible after the event. A timing clock will also be in view at the start and finish lines.


Can I get a refund?

  • We're sorry, but we do not offer refunds at this time. If you are unable to participate, you are welcome to pick up your t-shirt and goody bag at early packet pick-up. We’re also happy to convert your registration to a donation. Contact Sarah Kelly at skelly@askccf.org or call the office at 804-658-5910.


Where can I get a receipt for my donation?

  • All donations directly benefit ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed. A receipt will be automatically emailed to you if making your gift online. If you need a copy of your receipt, email us at skelly@askccf.org or call 804-658-5910.


Can I personalize my fundraising page?

  • Please do! Through “Edit my Fundraiser” tab you can upload a photo and tell your own story about why ASK is important to you, how it touches your heart, and why it matters. Reach out to everyone you know to ask them for their help in reaching your goal!
