Fundraising

Knee Knacker – more than just a race!

To increase our com­mu­nity impact and legacy, runners, volunteers and supporters can donate to North Shore Search and Rescue by setting up their own personal donation page or donate to another runner’s page. Donations go directly to North Shore Search and Rescue, and an electronic tax receipt is issued on donation. Addi­tion­ally, for any runner that raises $100 or more, we will waive the 4 hour vol­un­teer require­ment. While we hope you’ll be as excited about this pos­si­bil­ity as we are, it’s impor­tant to note that rais­ing funds is com­pletely optional. We will not require any­thing dif­fer­ent from you if you choose not to participate.

Friendly Competition for a GUARANTEED LOTTERY SPOT

We’re switching it up a bit this year to create a bit more incentive to raise some money! For the majority of the past 10 years, our incredible friend Barb Wilkins has raised the most money by a landslide, not only winning her a guaranteed spot in the race, but also our utmost respect and appreciation for her amazing work to support NSR. This year we’d like to give Barb a run for her money (all the puns intended) and encourage more people to get in the game!

This year we will hold a fundraising draw. Anyone who raises over $1000 between Feb 1, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is eligible to be drawn for a guaranteed spot in 2026.

We feel so strongly that as a trail running community we can not only hold and participate in an amazing event, but also take the opportunity to have a huge impact on people’s lives. What a great way to give back AND improve your chances of lining up race day!
