At Sports Backers, our mission is to inspire people to live actively. Engaging underserved populations is one of our core values and one way we act on this value is by offering Income-based Rates to those who qualify and would otherwise not be able to participate.
Those who make $25,000 or less annually or receive proven TANF, Food Stamp or Energy Assistance Benefits from Social Services and are not currently claimed as a dependent by anyone making above $25,000 annually are eligible for the $35 half marathon and $15 5k rates. Please provide one of the following documents for verification:
- Verification/Eligibility letter from Social Services
- Tax return
For those that qualify for the income-based entry fee, please email your qualifying documents to [email protected] (make sure to blackout any sensitive information such as social security number), mail it to Sports Backers, 100 Avenue of Champions, Richmond, VA 23230, or come by our office (100 Avenue of Champions, Richmond, VA 23230) with your verification documents.
