2025 Charity Partners List

2025 Charity Partners are officially announced after general registration is closed.

We ask that runners contact the Charities directly – runners are asked to raise a set amount in pledges for the charity. All the money raised will be given to the charity; checks are written directly and mailed directly to the charity, not through the Spring Lake 5 Mile Run.

Charities must make sure that the runners raising the money are the runners that are going to run. No giving of bib numbers to other people to auction off or use for commercial gain. If it is determined that that happens all team members will be disqualified.

Are you a Charitable organization who wants to be a Charity Partner? 2025 Charity Partners have been selected. New requests need to send an email in late November 2025 to get on the list to be reviewed as a charity partner for the 2026 race. Charities must be 501(c)3 compliant and have a website for the committee to review. Charity Partners are officially announced after general registration is closed.
