The 2024 Tripawds Virtual Marathon Starts April 20 – Join Us Live!

Join Team Tripawds Live at the kick-off for the 2024 Tripawds Virtual Marathon!

Tripawds community members and fans around the world are gathering to trek up the last 26.2 miles to the summit of Mount Everest. All from the comfort of their own hometowns. From April 20 – 28, we’ll be logging miles and collecting donations to support Tripawds Foundation resources and assistance programs to help amputee pets and their people everywhere!

Register now to join the fun. Then join us live for the official kick-off.

It’s not a race!

Walk, run, hop, ride, stroll, swim, or dance your way to the top! With the Racery app, you can easily convert many activities to miles. Simply log into your race dashboard or open the app and visit your 2024 Tripawds Virtual Marathon race. Enter your miles or activity, and watch your profile pic advance along the course. Get breathtaking views from Mount Everest along the way. And upload photos from your own home town.

Comment on the progress of others to cheer them on. And share your personal fundraising link to recruit more “runners” or solicit donations from friends and family. Most of all, remember: It’s not a race!

You’ll have nine days to log the 26.2 miles. But you don’t have to finish the entire course. Simply by participating, you’re a winner. And, you’re helping three legged dogs and cats.

Join Us Live!

We’ll be hosting more live streams throughout the 2024 Tripawds Virtual Marathon April 20-28, with shout outs to everyone and those teams leading the fundraising efforts. But remember, it’s not a race! 🙂

To kick off the “race” a few of us will be gathering for an informal stroll with Tripawds spokesdog Nellie B. Dog along the Michael Janacek Running Trail trail at Palmer High School in Palmer, Alaska. Join us in person, or tune into the Live Event on Facebook.

We’ve already got 43 runners participants signed up for the 2024 Tripawds Virtual Marathon. And, we’re half way to our fundraising goal of $4,000 for this year’s event. To help us surpass our goal, register now so you’re ready to start logging your miles on April 20.
