2020 Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend
Powered By Aftershokz
The SYTA Youth Foundation Running for Youth Run Team uses long distance running/walking as a symbol of endurance and hope. The goal is simple - to raise money for students & youth to travel with their schools or youth organizations. Participants on the Run Team fundraise on behalf of the SYTA Youth Foundation, train and participate in race distances throughout the year. Since the program's inception in 2009, the team has collectively raised over $350,000.
Running for Youth is sponsored by:

How does the fundraising minimum work?
There is a minimum for all fundraising packages except the Cheer Team package. For packages with a fundraising minimum, as a runner, you'll commit to raising that minimum for the package you selected. In exchange, you receive one of RFY’s entries into the race distance you selected, and we will provide you with support during the months and weeks leading up to the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.
