Beneficiary Program - Tussey Mountainback

Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK Beneficiary Program

We are grateful for the participation of runners, sponsors, crews, families, volunteers and friends who have helped to make our event successful and memorable for thousands of new and returning athletes.

Since the race's inception we have also sought to give back to the local community in a meaningful way by supporting the important work of locally based causes and initiatives, especially those that are just getting started or are not so well known. Thus far, the race has raised over $137,000 for outstanding nonprofit organizations that serve vital needs of our local community.

If you know of a locally based nonprofit organization that would like to be considered for selection as an event beneficiary, you can submit an application using this form. The deadline to apply for consideration for the Mountainback events of 2023 is May 10, 2022.

We thank you for your continued interest and look forward to working and running with so many of you in the years to come!
