Your registration fee contributes to covering essential costs such as permits, infrastructure, transportation, staffing, insurance, law enforcement, awards, event supplies, bibs, medals, shirts, and chip timing required to deliver a successful event experience. Additionally, a portion of every registration fee is allocated to support select charity partners throughout the year. 

Additional restrictions may apply depending on the specific event. We recommend reviewing the race policies for each event and consulting our Run Event Guide for complete details.

Our events are designed to bring local communities together with a shared purpose—supporting first responders who serve those towns. Each event focuses on fostering community spirit while raising donations to benefit these dedicated individuals. It’s more than a race; it’s a way to give back to those who protect and serve.

All donor contributions will be made directly to a registered Not-for-Profit Association dedicated to supporting First Responders. For each event, we partner with a relevant local not-for-profit organization to facilitate fundraising. This ensures complete transparency—donations are never collected by us and do not pass through our hands.

Volunteers enjoy numerous benefits, including:

Community Engagement – Connect with people and strengthen local ties.

Skill Development – Gain experience in planning, coordination, and leadership.

Recognition and Appreciation – Your efforts are acknowledged and celebrated.

Contribution to a Cause – Support meaningful initiatives that make a difference.

Cultural Experience – Immerse yourself in rich traditions and celebrations.

Networking Opportunities – Build relationships with like-minded individuals.

Additionally, every volunteer is enrolled in a free online self-study certification program after the event, tailored to their area of interest.

We work closely with local town officials, first responders, and communities. Our goal is to host events in as many towns as possible once we have local support in and around Dallas, Texas.

Everyone is welcome! Families, individuals, and local businesses are encouraged to join and make the event a success. Please refer to each event’s specific guidelines and restriction policies.

The mission of Stalwart Runners is to support and promote donations to First Responders NGOs that provide critical resources, mental health services, and financial assistance to the men and women who risk their lives to protect our communities. Through this support, these organizations help ensure first responders and their families receive the care, training, and assistance they deserve, strengthening public safety and fostering resilient communities.

We encourage donations to support local first responder organizations through partnerships with nonprofit associations. All contributions are made directly to these nonprofits via secure payment links, ensuring complete transparency. Stalwart Runners never collects donations directly. For every event, direct payment links are provided on our event portal, allowing participants and supporters to know their contributions go straight to the intended recipients.
