Help The Catamount Running Club Reach Nationals

The Catamount Running Club is a brand-new Club Sport at WCU and has the incredible opportunity to compete at both NIRCA Regionals and Nationals this year. Since we are a brand new club, we are in our probationary year and do not receive any funding.

Your contributions will directly support our travel and registration expenses for the Spring 2025 Track & Field Season. 

-David Go Invitational - UNC CHAPEL HILL

-2025 NIRCA TRACK & FIELD NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS in Richmond, VA APRIL 5-6 2025 or 

-2025 NIRCA HALF MARATHON NATIONALS in Petersburg, VA APRIL 5th 2025 

Goal Breakdown:

Cost to register an athlete for UNC Chapel Hill Meet: $35 or $350 per team

Cost to register an athlete for NATIONALS TRACK MEET: $30

12 Athletes to track the meet = $360

Cost to register an athlete for NATIONALS HALF MARATHON: $55

12 Athletes to race the half: $660

(we will be able to take a max of 12 athletes so there will be a mixture of people who race either the track meet or the half)

Cost for 12 athletes to stay two nights (3 rooms) at Courtyard by Marriott Richmond West for Nationals: $784.32 , cost per person $65.36

Cost of gas to Nationals per car: 

422.4 miles/ 20 mpg x $3.10 per gallon = $65.47 x 2 (round trip) = $130.94 round trip gas per car 

If we are unable to raise enough money, athletes will have to cover their own travel expenses. If you are donating for a specific athlete, please indicate their name in your donation.

$350 (UNC Chapel Hill) + $360 (national registration) + $784.32 (hotel) + ($130.94 x gas 2 cars= $261.88) = $1,756.2
