By sharing their personal fundraising links from within the Racery app, participants were able to track how much they raised from friends and family. Donors could choose to back their favorite runners, or back all to support the whole team.
Tripawds members, and total strangers to the community joined in on the fun from far corners of the world – running and walking from home in California, Iowa, New Jersey, Germany, and beyond. The Racery app made it fun and easy to log activity, track the progress of others, upload photos from wherever they ran, and comment to cheer others on.
