Beneficiary Program - Tussey Mountainback

Tussey mOUnTaiNBACK Beneficiary Program

We are grateful for the support of runners, sponsors, crews, families, volunteers and friends who have helped to make our event successful and memorable for thousands of new and veteran 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 were just getting started or were not so well known. Thus far, the race has raised over $100,000 for outstanding nonprofit organizations that serve 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 mOUnTainBACK typically selects the event beneficiary more than one year ahead of the target event date so that organization can participate fully in the October race event preceding the start of their beneficiary year. The deadline to apply for consideration for the 2020 event is September 30, 2019.

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