FundRace - Back on My Feet

What IS FundRacing?

FundRacing is a fun way to get a guaranteed race entry into some of the most popular races around the world while fundraising a set amount of money that directly provides our members with the skills, resources, and opportunities to take back control of their lives.

Our members face the harsh realities of experiencing homelessness and addiction. Getting back on track can seem insurmountable, and often, the hardest step is the first one. But when you FundRace with the Back on My Feet team, you fuel our members’ ambition to keep putting one foot in front of the other.

What’s more, in many cities you have the unique opportunity to run alongside the very individuals you are supporting. Hundreds of our members have completed marathons and some have even completed ultra-marathons!

Make your miles more meaningful. Sign up to FundRace today.

"As I ran the marathon I chanted to myself 'one foot in front of the other…one foot in front of the other….' I reflected upon the commitment that I made to run this race for Back on My Feet and the commitment it takes for Back on My Feet members to succeed and stick to their goals. We all have goals and we take many different paths to accomplish them. It was an honor to run on behalf of Back on My Feet."

"I had a GREAT experience running the London Marathon. The race itself is well organized, packet pickup and getting to the start line was easy. I had a great time seeing the sights of London and high fiving little kids. Getting to the finish line felt amazing. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to run for Back on My Feet in the London Marathon. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

"I run to live 100% alive. I run to serve others. I, too, serve the homeless in my city of Houston. But Back on My Feet is about not just helping but healing."

"Running is my therapy. I get to place in my head where I can solve problems and find peace. When I learned about Back on My Feet, it just made sense to me. If people experiencing homelessness find this supportive community, and learn what running can do for their self esteem, maybe they can also begin to see a way to solve their problems and find peace. I run for Back on My Feet because I believe in the work they do, and it makes me feel like I am helping to make a difference."

"I started fundracing with Back on My Feet in 2019. I am so glad I did. What began as just a race entry blossomed into volunteer opportunities, lasting relationships and endless inspiration. As a lifelong runner, there's nothing so rewarding as marrying my passion with the mission of an organization I've witnessed accomplish amazing work."
