Jog-A-Thon Fundraising
Ready, set, jog! Join the fun and help your school go the extra mile!
A Jog-A-Thon helps students raise funds in a fun and
engaging way by jogging for a set time. Participants
often collect pledges based on distance or number of
laps run. Many Jog-A-Thons also accept flat donations,
making joining younger students easier. The Jog-A-Thon
promotes physical activity and boosts students'
confidence while bringing the community together in a
fun and healthy way: through jogging!
After entering your event details, share the
registration page with your families to create their
own personalized fundraising pages. The personalized
invitations invite friends and family to donate via
email, text, and social media. They include a link for
secure per-lap or flat donations. PledgeStar increases
your donor pool, simplifies the collection process,
and offers simple reporting so you can focus on the
fun.

Jog-A-Thon organizers engage, excite, and inspire
students by encouraging them to be physically active,
set personal running goals, and pursue pledges from
family and friends. Clear rules and objectives
establish a fun and fair competition, motivating
students to challenge themselves while enjoying the
shared experience with their friends and classmates.
Duration The Jog-A-Thon typically lasts twenty to thirty minutes per group, depending on the school's schedule and objectives. Different age groups or grades run at different times, ensuring that younger students, such as first graders, do not run alongside older students, like fifth graders, for safety reasons. This allows each group to enjoy the event in a controlled and safe environment.
Running Objective Students set personal goals for the number of laps they want to complete during the Jog-A-Thon. Whether experienced runners or rookies, each participant strives to achieve their running objective with the support of classmates, family, and friends.
Running Path Participants typically run on the school's track, field, or playground, and schools customize the course to fit their needs. Whether it's a loop around the campus or a straight-line route, schools ensure safety and accessibility for all, allowing everyone to join in the fun.
Guidelines Jog-A-Thon organizers should set clear guidelines to help the event run smoothly. Therefore, schools must establish participation rules, define the length of the running course, and set minimum fundraising goals for participants. Offering incentives, such as prizes for top fundraisers or the most laps completed, also encourages greater involvement.
