It’s a fund raising event..
Oh so the title should be Fund not fun. I have never seen a smiling jogger.
Why is running required to donate?
It's not? It's an opportunity to raise funds, you can donate directly.
So why is it pay more to run more then?
You don't YOu can do it for free. You just have to keep track of your own time.
Jogging is the worst! I know it keeps you healthy, but God, at what cost?!”
(FWIW I am doing this - just look out for the dude at the side vomiting up kfc zinger box 500m into the event)
Yeah don't KFC-load beforehand, eat it during the event. You're less likely to vom and you might score a sponsorship for next year.
Its the Colonels "secret recipe"
This might be better. $5 entry and $2 per ride and right at the Garden City Westfield.

It's a fund raising event.
But I'd really love to see some transparency over the event:
1) $ revenue for the event
2) $ donated to seperate charities.It might be a better option to run the same course (except for the Gateway Bridge section) the day after, for free, and donate the same amount to a charity you like.
That way, you can ensure 100% of your donation goes to the charity.
I've just noticed something that may tell how it's funded. They give you a shirt, which means the people entering can't claim the entry fee as a tax deduction (as they received something physical for the entry fee).
The organisation behind the run probably can claim a tax deduction when they submit the pooled entry fees, as a donation, to the charities they have selected. Which, at the company tax rate, is worth 30% of the entry fee, or $17.70 per entrant who is paying $59.
As long as the cost of the shirt plus the cost of organising the run comes to less than $17.70 per entrant, there's potential for the organisation behind the race to make a small "profit", by way of the tax deduction they receive for donating the proceeds.
So it's entirely possible they are donating 100% of the entry fees received to charity. I suspect much of the costs, like advertising, were donated.
I am not an accountant nor a lawyer, however I have been part of a couple of not-for-profit organisations, and looked into what was required to become a tax-deductible not-for-profit organisation, so donations to those organisations would be tax-deductible.
Last time I checked City to surf donates $0.5 of every 80$ to charity, it more for fun
Oh great! I can get one of those T-Shirts to wear pretentiously around for the following 3 months when I go out for my single heard mocha latte.
Linkt toll road corp have worked out a smart way to charge pedestrians too, under the guise of charity
What,,,,,you have to pay to run. (profanity) that.
