Janus is offering a $30,000 prize purse to the charities of the top fundraisers! And it’s easy – all you need to do is enter the funds you have raised into the Janus Charity Challenge online system.

3.) Click on Athlete Registration, Scroll Down to to get to the registration page
4.) Enter all information, then create a user name and password

Once you are registered, enter the funds you have raised as an OFFLINE donation. Enter the total tax deductible amount you have raised to date (instead of itemizing each donation), only including funds you have raised specifically for the listed Triathlon. Even if your donors gave through the charity’s online donation process, you can enter those funds as part of the Janus Charity Challenge.

Any additional funds you raise between now and midnight the day before the race will count, as long as you enter them in your Participant Headquarters.

We hope you’ll take the Challenge and help us raise even more money for our cause!

NOTE: You do not need to provide Janus a 501 (c)(3) document for your charity, as we have already provided one.
