Hogwarts Running Club is pleased to present our fourth event of 2016:

The #OneHRC House Marathon!

We are #OneHRC and together we do #somuchgood! In celebration of our unity, we offer you the largest, most amazing medal ever...correction...it's FOUR medals! The four separate 3" house medals connect via magnets to form one HUGE 6" x 6" medal with the OneHRC "keystone" in the middle...which can be used as a keychain!

Yes. It is a marathon. No. You don't have to run/walk it at once. In fact, we've deliberately made it four separate events: 5k, 6k, 10k, and 21k. Add them together and they equal 42k...or a FULL MARATHON! And since these are virtual runs, you can break up those distances to make them more manageable. It's your race...at your pace...at your place!

In honor of our four HRC Houses, the #OneHRC House Marathon has FOUR Charity Partners which will equally split the proceeds from this event. Each of them are dedicated to saving the lives of the animals who represent our four houses:

The Gryffindor 21k will help Big Cat Rescue in Tampa build a new bobcat rehabilitation facility that minimizes human contact so these big cats can return to the wild.

The Ravenclaw 10k will help International Bird Rescue in San Francisco build a new aviary to help save birds who are the victims of oil spills and natural disasters.

The Slytherin 6k will help Friends of Scales outside of Chicago build their reptile rescue facility and provide life-saving veterinary care for injured snakes, turtles, and other reptiles.

The Hufflepuff 5k will help the Save Me Trust outside of London, England, organize three teams in Southern England to catch, vaccinate and release badgers to stop the spread of bovine tuberculosis and, more importantly, stop the Badger Cull which has needlessly killed thousands of badgers.
