Fanthropy continued it's amazing journey of with an incredible 2025! This year saw us focus on some critical areas in need of support especially the California wildfires and other disaster relief efforts. We also had a big focus on reading as we raised funds for numerous literacy charities and donated more than 1,900 books to hundreds of Little Free Libraries all over the world as part of this summer's Direct Impact Project!

We partnered once again with Charity Events at Dragon Con for the Dragon Con Hustle: Rebel 5k raising over $17,000 for NAMI Georgia!

Finally, and most importantly, our 74 Racery teams in Battle of the Fandoms and Fanthropy Rumbles...along with194 individual runners participating in Fans Run the World...logged over 168,000 miles as part of their physical fitness journey!

We look forward to 2026 and hope you'll continue to engage with our amazing community in the FRC Fan Domain! Bring on 2026!!

As we wrap up 2024, we are amazed by the our Fanthropy community has accomplished our tenth year!

Amazed...but not surprised...not even a little bit.

Our incredible community of Fandom Philanthropists logged nearly 290,000 miles on their physical fitness journey while participating in eight Racery events including our year-long Fans Run the World 366-mile event. Those events, along with the proceeds from three incredible medal events, resulted in $32,250 of donations to 62 charity beneficiaries...all chosen by the Fanthropy community. On top of that, we partnered with Charity Events at Dragon Con to generate a huge donation of $15,799 for the Arthritis Foundation Georgia. Finally, our Direct Impact Project made a HUGE difference for Gleaning For The World and their disaster relief efforts across the country and around the world with over 1,700 comfort items and more than AN ACTUAL FREAKIN' TON of cat food for local shelters!!

While, 2024 was awesome, we can't wait for 2025 and the amazing things yet to come!! Make sure to check in with the FRC Fan Domain regularly to stay up to date on everything happening in this phenomenal community!!

FANTHROPY RUNNING CLUB IS EXCITED TO PROCLAIM THAT OUR THIRD VIRTUAL RUNNING EVENT OF 2024 IS...

The Flying Monkey 5k!



L. Frank Baum created a magical world full of characters that has been beloved for over 120 years. But in every good story there's tale of hope, loss, and renewal. That's the the tale of the "winged monkeys." They were initially a rather carefree, but mischievous, bunch until they were eventually enslaved by the Wicked Witch of the West who used them to conquer. Fortunately, a girl from Kansas (and her little dog, too!) managed a little "aquatic liberation" and the winged monkeys were FREE! Now, the flying monkeys have returned to remind all of you that you have the power to save the world.

Are you a "Tigger" or an "Eeyore"? A "Pooh" or a "Piglet"? Let's be honest, sometimes we're all a little Rabbit. Regardless of which character (or all of them) you love most, we can all agree that A.A. Milne's classic stories of Winnie the Pooh speak to our souls in so many ways.

FANTHROPY RUNNING CLUB IS BOUNCING WITH JOY TO ANNOUNCE OUR SECOND VIRTUAL RUNNING EVENT OF 2024:

A RATHER NICE DAY FOR A 10K!

A.A. Milne's classic stories of young Christopher Robin and his stuffed friends in the Hundred Acre Wood have been foundational for so many children for nearly a century. In 2022, Milne's Winnie-The-Pooh entered the public domain and we are thrilled to offer this incredible medal featuring many of those beloved characters. Two characters, in particular, have significant meaning for many of us. Because some days you're a "Tigger" bouncing all over the place...and sometimes you're an "Eeyore"...and just want to take a nap. This one-of-a-kind medal features an internal rotating disk that you can rotate to determine the kind of day/race you're having! So whether you want a bouncing 10k...or a sleeping one...this medal is for you!

This is a virtual event so you can complete the distance any where and any WAY you want! Do you need to break it up to make it more manageable? No problem! Want to walk? Groovy. Want to cha-cha slide 6.2 miles? That's impressive! We operate on the honor system, so everyone who registers will get this awesome 3" medal and no proof of completion is required!

There's also a shirt! (Of course, there's a shirt) Featuring best friends Pooh and Piglet on the front and Tigger and Eeyore on the back, this shirt is a available as an optional separate purchase from Custom Ink.

The proceeds from this event will benefit all of the charity beneficiaries selected by the Fanthropy Running Club community for the Fanthropy Rumble Round 2 and the Battle of the Fandoms Round 2 events in the second quarter of the year. So ALL of the charities the community selects will share the proceeds of this event equally!

SIGN UP TODAY AND LET'S CELEBRATE ONE OF OUR ALL-TIME FAVORITE FANDOMS!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FANTHROPY!

Ten years ago today, a simple post announcing our first virtual running event went up on Facebook with a goal to raise $500 for pediatric cancer research. We had no idea how that small, insignificant moment would literally change the world.

A decade later and our community of Fanthropists have logged over 30 million miles and donated over $2.6 million to more than 200 hundred direct-impact charities around the world!

Today, we celebrate ten years of community, fandom, fitness, and philanthropy. We invite you to join us in the FRC Fan Domain for a day of memories, celebrations, and, of course, plenty of shenanigans!

Happy Birthday to us!!!

Fanthropy Running Club is thrilled to announce our first new virtual running event since 2022!

It All Started With a 5k!

On January 1st, everyone started their 2024 fitness journey....and that journey can often start with completion of a 5k. Also on January 1st, the first appearance of everyone's favorite mouse who started a media and cultural empire, Steamboat Willie, entered the Public Domain! We are super excited to celebrate one of the greatest cartoons of all-time with this Steamboat Willie-inspired virtual event with a medal featuring the four main characters from that cartoon...especially the sheet-music-devouring GOAT! So, let's put them together and start a new year off right!

This is a virtual event so you can complete the distance anywhere and any WAY you want! Do you need to break it up to make it more manageable? No problem! Want to walk? Groovy. Want to cha-cha slide 3.1 miles? That's impressive! We operate on the honor system, so everyone who registers will get this awesome 3" medal and no proof of completion is required! Due to Lunar New Year, the medals won't arrive until late March, but we'll mail them out as soon as we get them.

There's also a shirt! (Of course, there's a shirt) Featuring the awesome goat from the film, this shirt is a available as an optional separate purchase from Custom Ink. The campaign will be open for 30 days and then all of the shirts will be shipped to you directly from Custom Ink. So, this means that you will have your shirt before you get your medal.

The proceeds from this event will benefit all of the charity beneficiaries selected by the Fanthropy Running Club community for the Fanthropy Rumble Round 1 and the Battle of the Fandoms Round 1 events in the first three months of the year. So ALL of the charities the community selects will share the proceeds of this event equally!

Sign up today and let's celebrate one of our all-time favorite fandoms!!
