Everything you need to know about running a fun run on Raised
A fun run fundraiser is a sponsored run, usually laps of the school field or a short course. Students collect sponsorship from family and friends for taking part, and the money goes to the school. Colour runs, cross countries and obstacle courses all work the same way.
Yes. Mark out a course on your field, line up parent helpers, and use Raised for the sponsorship pages. Apart from a small platform and card fee, the money stays with the school instead of being shared with a company that supplies the event.

There are no setup fees, monthly fees, or subscription costs. Card donations carry a 5% platform fee and Stripe processing fees. Card surcharges are not allowed in Australia, so by default these come out of the donation, and donors can choose to cover them. You can also choose to absorb fees yourself in your payment settings.
Yes. Give every runner their own page with a shareable link and QR code so friends and family can sponsor them directly. Each runner's total rolls up into your event goal and the team leaderboards.
